Psalms 149

1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.

3 Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.

4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

5 The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.

6 The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments amongst the peoples;

8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgement written: this honour have all his saints.

9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
