Psalms 149

Alleluiah.

149:1Sing to the lord a new song, of his praise in the assembly of the sacred ones!

149:2Let Israel be glad upon the one making him! and the sons of Zion, let them exult over their king!

149:3Let them praise his name among the company of dancers! with tambourine and psaltery let them strum to him!

149:4For the lord takes pleasure in his people, and he shall exalt the gentle with deliverance.

149:5sacred ones shall boast in glory, and shall exult upon their beds.

149:6The act of exaltation of God is in their throat, and double-edged broadswords are in their hands;

149:7to execute punishment among the nations, and rebukes among the peoples;

149:8to tie their kings in shackles, and their nobles in manacles of iron;

149:9to execute among them written judgment. This glory is to all his sacred ones.
