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 nations, *
   and to rebuke the peoples;
8. To bind their kings in chains, *
   and their nobles with links of iron;
9. To execute judgment upon them; as it is written, *
   Such honour have all his saints.
