PSALM 149
Cantate Domino.

O sing unto the LORD a | new song;

* let the congre- | -gation• 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 re- | -joice 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.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
