Psalm 149

¹Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
²Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: 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 will beautify the meek with salvation.
⁵Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud 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 heathen, and punishments upon the people;
⁸To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
⁹To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.

¹¹In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
¹²That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
¹³In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
¹⁴Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
¹⁵Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
¹⁶Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
¹⁷That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
¹⁸The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
¹⁹And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
²⁰Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
²¹Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
²²And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
²³Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

²⁰And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
²¹Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
²²Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
²³Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
²⁴But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
²⁵Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
²⁶Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
²⁷But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
²⁸Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
²⁹And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
³⁰Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
³¹And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
