Psalms 149

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

Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people of Zion rejoice in their king.

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

Let them praise his name with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

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

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

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

Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hand

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

to execute vengeance on the nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.

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

They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

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

They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
