Psalms, 149
The church is particularly bound to praise God.
Cantate Domino.
[1] Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints. •
[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 choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery. •
[4] For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation. •
[5] The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds. •
[6] The high praises of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands: •
[7] To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:
[8] To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron. •
[9] To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia. •
