Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their king!

3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises to him with the timbrel and harp.

Let them praise his name in the dance; Let them praise him with the timbrel and harp!

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.

5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

Let the praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishment upon the peoples!

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

To bind their kings with chains. And their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

To execute upon them the sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
