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, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.

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

Let Israel rejoice in its maker, sons of Zion 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, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

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

For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.

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

Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.

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

High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

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

on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,

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

binding their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,

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

to execute on them the doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
