149:1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: * let his praise be in the church of the saints.
149:2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: * and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.
149:3 Let them praise his name in choir: * let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.
149:4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people: * and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.
149:5 The saints shall rejoice in glory: * they shall be joyful in their beds.
149:6 The high praises of God shall be in their mouth: * and two-edged swords in their hands:
149:7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, * chastisements among the people:
149:8 To bind their kings with fetters, * and their nobles with manacles of iron.
149:9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written: * this glory is to all his saints.
