Psalms 149-150

Psalm 149

¹Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; sing his praise in the congregation of the godly.

²Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

³Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

⁴For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

⁵Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

⁶Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

⁷To execute vengeance against the nations, and punishment among the peoples;

⁸To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

⁹To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!

Psalm 150

¹Hallelujah! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in the firmament of his power.

²Praise him in his mighty acts; praise him according to the abundance of his greatness.

³Praise him with the sound of the trumpet; praise him with lute and harp;

⁴Praise him with the tambour and dance; praise him with stringed instruments and the pipe;

⁵Praise him with loud cymbals; praise him with high sounding cymbals.

⁶Let everything that hath breath praise Jah. Hallelujah!
