Chapter 149

  Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, [and] his praise in the congregation of saints.  

-

  Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.  

-

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

-

  For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.  

-

  Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.  

-

  [Let] the high [praises] of God [be] in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;  

-

  To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [and] punishments upon the people;  

-

  To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;  

-

  To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
