Psalms 149

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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult 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 chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

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

The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

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

The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

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

to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

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

to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,

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

to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
