< Psalms 149

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

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

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

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

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

[6] Let the high 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;

[8] 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.
