< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.
2 Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons of Zion rejoice in their king.
Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.
3 They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise to Him with timbrel and harp.
Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.
4 For YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.
For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.
5 Saints exult in glory, They sing aloud on their beds.
Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.
6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,
7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.
To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:
8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honored ones with chains of iron,
To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,
9 To do among them the judgment written, It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.
