< Psalms 149 >
1 Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.
Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.
Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons 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.
They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise to Him with timbrel and harp.
4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.
For YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.
5 Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
Saints exult in glory, They sing aloud on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:
The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
7 To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;
To do vengeance among nations, Punishments 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 honored ones with chains of iron,
9 To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
To do among them the judgment written, It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
