Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

5 Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

6 The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

9 to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.

to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
