King James (Authorized) Version
Psalm 149
Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.1
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.2
Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.3
For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;4
To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
