Psalms 149
Bishops' Bible
1Prayse ye the Lorde, syng vnto God a newe song: he ought to be praysed in the congregation of saintes.
2Israel shoulde reioyce in his maker: the children of Sion shoulde be ioyfull in their kyng.
3They shoulde prayse his name in a daunce: they shoulde sing psalmes vnto hym vpon a tabret and a harpe.
4For God hath a pleasure in his people: he wyll beautifie the afflicted with saluation.
5The saintes shalbe ioyful with glory: they shal expresse a ioyfull noyse in their beddes.
6The hygh promotions of the Lorde shalbe in their mouth: and a two edged sworde in their handes.
7That they may take auengement of the heathen: and correction of the nations.
8That they may bynde their kynges in chaynes: and their nobles with iron fetters.
9That they may execute the iudgement prescribed: this honour shalbe to all his saintes. Prayse ye the Lorde.
