Psalms 149

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

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful 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 sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

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

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

Let the saints 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:

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

7 To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;

to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on 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 shackles of iron,

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

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