149 Hallelujah.
Sing unto the Lord a new song,
And His praise in the assembly of the saints.
2Let Israel rejoice in his Maker;
Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3Let them praise His name in the dance;
Let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.
4For the Lord taketh pleasure in His people;
He adorneth the humble with salvation.
5Let the saints exult in glory;
Let them sing for joy upon their beds.
6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand;
7To execute vengeance upon the nations,
And chastisements upon the peoples;
8To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9To execute upon them the judgment written;
He is the glory of all His saints.
Hallelujah.


150 Hallelujah.
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in the firmament of His power.
2Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His abundant greatness.
3Praise Him with the blast of the horn;
Praise Him with the psaltery and harp.
4Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and the pipe.
5Praise Him with the loud-sounding cymbals;
Praise Him with the clanging cymbals.
6Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.
Hallelujah.
