| Chapter 149 |
1 |
Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints. --
|
2 |
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king. --
|
3 |
Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery. --
|
4 |
For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation. --
|
5 |
The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds. --
|
6 |
The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands: --
|
7 |
To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people: --
|
8 |
To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron. --
|
9 |
To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia. --
