Psalms 149

1Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

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 choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

7To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

8To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

9To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
