The Book of Psalms, Chapter 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.
