Psalm 149-150

21st Century King James Version

149 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!

150 Praise ye the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the firmament of His power!

² Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

³ Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; praise Him with the psaltery and harp!

⁴ Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; praise Him with stringed instruments and organs!

⁵ Praise Him upon the loud cymbals; praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals!

⁶ Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord! Praise ye the Lord!
