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, 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 him who made them. 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 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 crowns the humble with salvation.

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

Let the saints rejoice in honor. 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 high 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 punishments on 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 on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!
