Psalm 149

Praise ye the LORD.

Sing unto the LORD a new song,

and his praise in the congregation of the saints.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him:

let the children of Zion be joyful in their king.

Let them praise his name in the dance:

let the sing praises unto him with the timbrel and the harp.

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people:

he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Let the saints be joyful in glory:

let them sing aloud on their beds.

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,

and a twoedged sword in their hand;

To execute vengeance on the heathen,

and punishments on the people;

To bind their kings with chains,

and their nobles with fetters of iron:

To execute upon them the judgement written:

this honour have all his saints.

Praise ye the LORD.
