Psalm 149
(from Day 30/31 Evening Prayer)
Cantate Domino
- O SING unto the Lord a new song : let the congregation of saints praise him.
- Let Israel rejoice in him that made him : and let the children of Sion be joyful in their King.
- Let them praise his Name in the dance : let them sing praises unto him with tabret and harp.
- For the Lord hath pleasure in his people : and helpeth the meek-hearted.
- Let the saints be joyful with glory : let them rejoice in their beds.
- Let the praises of God be in their mouth : and a two-edged sword in their hands;
- To be avenged of the heathen : and to rebuke the people;
- To bind their kings in chains : and their nobles with links of iron.
- That they may be avenged of them, as it is written : Such honour have all his saints.
