Psalms, Chapter 149

  
1. Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the 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 timbrel and harp.
  
4. For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.
  
5. Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy 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 nations, And punishments upon the peoples;
  
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 Jehovah.
