Psalms 149

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

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

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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

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

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

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

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