| Chapter 149 |
1 |
Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.
|
2 |
Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.
|
3 |
Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.
|
4 |
For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.
|
5 |
Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
|
6 |
Let the high praises of łGod be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:
|
7 |
To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;
|
8 |
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
|
9 |
To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
