Psalm 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 twoedged 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
