Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult 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 the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

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

4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

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

5 Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

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

6 The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

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

7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:

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

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

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.

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