Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song—His praise in the assembly of the godly.

2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

3 Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

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

7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

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

9 to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!

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 twoedged 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.

1 Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new song! Let the congregation of the saints praise him.

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

3 They shall praise his name in song: with timbrels and harps shall they play unto him.

4 For the LORD is well pleased with his people: he helpeth the needy gloriously.

5 Let the saints be glad and praise and glory in their camps.

6 Their mouth shall exalt GOD, and shall have sharp swords in their hands,

7 To execute vengeance among the heathen, punishment among the nations,

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

9 To do them the judgment that is written. Such glory shall all his saints have. Hallelujah!
