| Chapter 149 |
1 |
Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints. |
2 |
Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King. |
3 |
Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music. |
4 |
For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation. |
5 |
Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds. |
6 |
Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands; |
7 |
To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment; |
8 |
To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron; |
9 |
To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord. |
