Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.

Hallelujah. Sing to the Lord a new song, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.

2 Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in its maker, sons of Zion exult in their king.

3 Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.

Let them praise his name in the dance, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.

For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.

5 Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.

Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.

6 Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,

High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:

on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,

8 To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,

binding their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,

9 That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.

to execute on them the doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
