Psalm 149
Israel Exhorted to
Praise the LORD |
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 honor have all his saints. |
Praise ye the LORD. |
