Psalmes 149

P S A L. CXLVIII.

1 The Psalmist exhorteth the celestiall, 7 The terrestriall, 11 And the rationall creatures to praise God.

CXLIX ¶ [fn]Praise yee the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heauens: praise him in the heights. 2 Praise yee him all his Angels: praise ye him all his hosts. 3 Praise ye him Sunne and Moone: praise him all ye starres of light. 4 Praise him ye heauens of heauens: and ye waters that be aboue the heauens. 5 Let them praise the Name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. 6 Hee hath also stablished them for euer and euer: he hath made a decree which shall not passe. 7 Praise the LORD from the earth: ye dragons and all deepes. 8 Fire and haile, snow and vapour: stormie wind fulfilling his word. 9 Mountaines and all hilles: fruitfull trees, and all cedars. 10 [fn]Beastes and all cattell: creeping things, and flying foule. 11 Kings of the earth, and all people: Princes, and all Iudges of the earth. 12 Both young men and maidens: olde men and children. 13 [fn]Let them praise the Name of the LORD, for his Name alone is excellent: his glory is aboue the earth and heauen. 14 Hee also exalteth the horne of his people, the praise of all his Saints; euen of the children of Israel, a people neere vnto him. Praise ye the LORD.

P S A L. CXLIX.

1 The Prophet exhorteth to praise God for his loue to the Church, 5 and for that power, which hee hath giuen to the Church to rule the consciences of men.

CXLIX ¶ [fn]Praise yee the LORD: Sing vnto the LORD a new song: and his prayse in the Congregation of Saints. 2 Let Israel reioyce in him that made him: let the children of Zion bee ioyfull in their King. 3 [fn]Let them praise his Name in the dance: let them sing praises vnto him with the timbrell and harpe. 4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: hee will beautifie the meeke with saluation. 5 Let the Saints be ioyfull in glory: let them sing aloude vpon their beddes. 6 [fn]Let the high praises of God be in their mouth: and a two edged sword in their hand: 7 To execute vengeance vpon the heathen: and punishments vpon the people. 8 To binde their Kings with chaines: and their Nobles with fetters of yron. 9 [ref]To execute vpon them the iudgement written: This honour haue all his Saints. Praise ye the LORD.
