Psalms 149

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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult 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 in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.

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

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

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

The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.

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

The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

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

to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments amongst the peoples;

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

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgement written: this honour have all his saints.

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