Psalms 149
The passage calls for a new song of praise to the Lord, with Israel rejoicing in their creator and the sons of Zion exulting in their king. The people are to praise God with music and instruments, as He is pleased with them and will exalt the meek to salvation. The saints will rejoice and exult in glory, executing judgment and vindication among the nations. This is a glory that belongs to all of God's saints.
1Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints2Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king3Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery4For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation5The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches6The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands7to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples8to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron9to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia
