149 1Praise ye the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, [and] his praise in the congregation of saints. 2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises to him with the timbrel and harp: 4For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. 5Let 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; 7To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [and] punishments upon the people; 8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9To execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
