Psalms 149

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.	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 who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.	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 chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.	3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.	4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.	5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:	6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7 to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,	7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,	8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.	9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
