Chapter Context
Psalms 149
Intro: God to be praised.
1 Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written; this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
