< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. 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.
4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.
6 The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand
7 to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,
9 to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
