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. |
