PsalmsChapter 149

1

Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

2

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

3

Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

4

For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

5

The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

6

The high praises of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

7

To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

8

To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

9

To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
