Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 148
¹² Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
¹³ Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
¹⁴ He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 149
¹ Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
² Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
³ Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
⁴ For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
⁵ Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
⁶ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
⁷ To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
⁸ To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
