Psalms 149

1Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

2Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

4For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

5Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

7to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

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

9to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise the LORD!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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