< Psalms 149 >
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.
Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.
Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.
They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;
To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among 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.
To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,
To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
