Psalms 149
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.
Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult 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 sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.
Let them praise his name with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hand
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;
to execute vengeance on the nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.
8 to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints.
They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.
They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
