Psalms 149

1 Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

Praise ye Yah, Sing to Yahweh a song that is new, his praise in the convocation of the men of lovingkindness.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the people of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, Let the sons of Zion exult in their king;

3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

Let them praise his Name in the dance, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.

5 Let the faithful ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

Let the men of lovingkindness exult as they glory, Let them shout aloud upon their beds:

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

The high songs of GOD be in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

To execute an avenging among the nations, rebukes among the peoples:

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

To bind their kings with fetters, and their honoured ones with iron bands:

9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his faithful ones have this honor. Praise the LORD.

To execute upon them the sentence written, An honour, shall it be to all his men of lovingkindness. Praise ye Yah!
