Psalms 149

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

Praise ye Yah, Sing to Yahweh a song that is new, his praise in the convocation of the men of lovingkindness.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, Let the sons of Zion exult 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, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

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

For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.

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

Let the men of lovingkindness exult as they glory, Let them shout aloud upon their beds:

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

The high songs of GOD be in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

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

To execute an avenging among the nations, rebukes among the peoples:

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

To bind their kings with fetters, and their honoured ones with iron bands:

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 sentence written, An honour, shall it be to all his men of lovingkindness. Praise ye Yah!
