Psalms 149
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.
Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and psaltery.
Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;
to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.
to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,
to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
