Psalm 149 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Praise ye Jehovah.

Sing unto Jehovah a new song,

And his praise in the assembly of the saints.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him:

Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his name in the dance:

Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people:

He will beautify the meek with salvation.

Let the saints exult in glory:

Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,

And a two-edged sword in their hand;

To execute vengeance upon the nations,

And punishments upon the peoples;

To bind their kings with chains,

And their nobles with fetters of iron;

To execute upon them the judgment written:

This honor have all his saints.

Praise ye Jehovah.
