Chapter 149 | |
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 honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD. |
