| Chapter 149 |
1 |
Praise ye the LORD. Sing to 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 to 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 honor have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD. --
