Psalms 149

¹Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints. ²Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king. ³Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery. ⁴For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation. ⁵The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds. ⁶The high praises of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands: ⁷To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people: ⁸To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron. ⁹To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
