Psalms 149

Listen (KJV)

1Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the 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 unto him with timbrel and harp.

4For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6Letthe high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

7To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;

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 Jehovah.
