Psalm 149

Cantate Domino

1 O SING unto the Lord a new song * let the congregation of saints praise him.

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

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

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

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

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

7 To be avenged of the heathen * and to rebuke the people;

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

9 That they may be avenged of them, as it is written * Such honour have all his saints.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son * and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be * world without end. Amen.
