149
Alleluia.
1 Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
6 The * high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments amongst the peoples;
8 to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgement † written: this honour have all his saints.
