PSALM 149
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord: unto him sing
a new song, and his praise
In the assembly of his saints
in sweet psalms do ye raise.
2Let Isr'el in his Maker joy,
and to him praises sing:
Let all that Sion's children are
be joyful in their King.
3O let them unto his great name
give praises in the dance;
Let them with timbrel and with harp
in songs his praise advance.
4For God doth pleasure take in those
that his own people be;
And he with his salvation
the meek will beautify.
5And in his glory excellent
let all his saints rejoice:
Let them to him upon their beds
aloud lift up their voice.
6Let in their mouth aloft be rais'd
the high praise of the Lord,
And let them have in their right hand
a sharp two-edged sword;
7To execute the vengeance due
upon the heathen all,
And make deserved punishment
upon the people fall.
8And ev'n with chains, as pris'ners, bind
their kings that them command;
Yea, and with iron fetters strong,
the nobles of their land.
9On them the judgment to perform
found written in his word:
This honour is to all his saints.
O do ye praise the Lord.

Psalm 149
1Praise the Lord.
Sing a new song to the Lord.
Sing praise to him in the assembly of his faithful people.
2Let Israel be filled with joy because God is their Maker.
Let the people of Zion be glad because he is their King.
3Let them praise his name with dancing.
Let them make music to him with harps and tambourines.
4The Lord takes delight in his people.
He awards with victory those who are humble.
5Let his faithful people be filled with joy because of that honor.
Let them sing for joy even when they are lying in bed.
6May they praise God with their mouths.
May they hold in their hands a sword that has two edges.
7Let them pay the nations back.
Let them punish the people of the earth.
8Let them put the kings of those nations in chains.
Let them put their nobles in iron chains.
9Let them carry out God’s sentence against those nations.
This will bring glory to all his faithful people.
Praise the Lord.
