< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.
Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.
Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.
They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.
4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.
For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.
5 Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.
Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.
6 The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand
The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
7 to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,
To do vengeance among nations, Punishments 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 honoured ones with fetters of iron,
9 to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
