Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.

Praise Yah. Sing unto Yhwh a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

2 Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.

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

4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.

For Yhwh taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

6 Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

7 To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:

To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

8 To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,

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

9 That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.

To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye Yhwh.
