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 Church 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 who made them, and let the sons of Zion 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 chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

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

The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

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

The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

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

to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

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

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

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

to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
