Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.

Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children 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 unto 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 taketh 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 saints 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 [Let] the high praises of God [be] 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 nobles 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: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.

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