Psalm 149 Cantate Domino.

O sing unto the LORD a new song; * let the congregation of saints praise him.

²Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, * and let the children of Sion be joyful in their King.

³Let them praise his Name in the dance: * let them sing praises unto him with tabret and harp.

⁴For the LORD hath pleasure in his people, * and helpeth the meek-hearted.

⁵Let the saints be joyful with glory; * let them rejoice in their beds.

⁶Let the praises of God be in their mouth; * and a two-edged sword in their hands;

⁷To be avenged of the nations, * and to rebuke the peoples;

⁸To bind their kings in chains, * and their nobles with links of iron;

⁹To execute judgment upon them; as it is written, * Such honour have all his saints.
