You are here: Home 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) Psalm 149

149 1 An exhortation to the Church to praise the Lord for his victory and conquest, that he giveth his Saints against all man’s power.

Praise ye the Lord.

1 Sing ye unto the Lord [a]a new song: let his praise be heard in the Congregation of Saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that [b]made him, and let the children of Zion rejoice in their [c]King.

3 Let them praise his Name with the flute: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meek glorious by deliverance.

5 Let the Saints be joyful with glory: let them sing loud upon their [d]beds.

6 Let the high Acts of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,

7 [e]To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and corrections among the people:

8 To bind [f]their kings in chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,

9 That they may execute upon them the judgment that is [g]written: this honor shall be to all his Saints. Praise ye the Lord.
