| 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. |
