Psalms 149

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

Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation 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 his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful 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 sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

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

Let the godly 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

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

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

To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among 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 fetters of iron;

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

To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
