Psalms 149

1Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.

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

4For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

5The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.

6The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

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

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

9to execute on them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.
