Psalms 149

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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult 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 in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.

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

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

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

The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

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

to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints.

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