Chapter 149 Sing a new song

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:[1]

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.
