< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.
2 Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons of Zion rejoice in their king.
Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children 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 unto Him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.
For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.
5 Saints exult in glory, They sing aloud on their beds.
Let the saints 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.
Let the high praises of God be 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 chastisements 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 nobles 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; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
