Psalms 149

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

הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ שִׁ֣ירוּ לַֽ֭יהוָה שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֑שׁ תְּ֝הִלָּתֹ֗ו בִּקְהַ֥ל חֲסִידִֽים׃

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

יִשְׂמַ֣ח יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל בְּעֹשָׂ֑יו בְּנֵֽי־צִ֝יֹּ֗ון יָגִ֥ילוּ בְמַלְכָּֽם׃

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

יְהַֽלְל֣וּ שְׁמֹ֣ו בְמָחֹ֑ול בְּתֹ֥ף וְ֝כִנֹּ֗ור יְזַמְּרוּ־לֹֽו׃

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

כִּֽי־רֹוצֶ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה בְּעַמֹּ֑ו יְפָאֵ֥ר עֲ֝נָוִ֗ים בִּישׁוּעָֽה׃

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

יַעְלְז֣וּ חֲסִידִ֣ים בְּכָבֹ֑וד יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ עַל־מִשְׁכְּבֹותָֽם׃

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

רֹומְמֹ֣ות אֵ֭ל בִּגְרֹונָ֑ם וְחֶ֖רֶב פִּֽיפִיֹּ֣ות בְּיָדָֽם׃

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

לַעֲשֹׂ֣ות נְ֭קָמָה בַּגֹּויִ֑ם תֹּֽ֝וכֵחֹ֗ת בַּל־אֻמִּֽים׃

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

לֶאְסֹ֣ר מַלְכֵיהֶ֣ם בְּזִקִּ֑ים וְ֝נִכְבְּדֵיהֶ֗ם בְּכַבְלֵ֥י בַרְזֶֽל׃

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

לַעֲשֹׂ֤ות בָּהֶ֨ם ׀ מִשְׁפָּ֬ט כָּת֗וּב הָדָ֣ר ה֭וּא לְכָל־חֲסִידָ֗יו הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
