Psalms 149

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

Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult in their King.

Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons of Zion rejoice in their king.

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

They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise to Him with timbrel and harp.

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

For YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.

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

Saints exult in glory, They sing aloud on their beds.

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

The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

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

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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

To bind their kings with chains, And their honored ones with chains of iron,

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

To do among them the judgment written, It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
