Psalms 149

1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6 The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
