Psalms 149

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

Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people 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; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

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

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

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

Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hand

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

to execute vengeance on the nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.

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

They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

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

They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
