Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

3 Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

8 to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

9 to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!

To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
