Psalms 149

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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