Psalm 149 Praise God, all his Saints Or, the Saints Judging the World.
C. M.

Praise God, all his saints or, The saints judging the world.

All ye that love the Lord, rejoice,

And let your songs be new;

Amidst the church with cheerful voice

His later wonders show.

The Jews, the people of his grace,

Shall their Redeemer sing;

And Gentile nations join the praise,

While Zion owns her King.

The Lord takes pleasure in the just,

Whom sinners treat with scorn;

The meek that lie despised in dust

Salvation shall adorn.

Saints should be joyful in their King,

E'en on a dying bed;

And like the souls in glory sing;

For God shall raise the dead.

Then his high praise shall fill their tongues

Their hands shall wield the sword;

And vengeance shall attend their songs,

The vengeance of the Lord.

When Christ the judgment-seat ascends,

And bids the world appear,

Thrones are prepared for all his friends

Who humbly loved him here.

Then shall they rule with iron rod

Nations that dared rebel;

And join the sentence of their God

On tyrants doomed to hell.

The royal sinners bound in chains

New triumphs shall afford:

Such honor for the saints remains;

Praise ye, and love the Lord!
