Psalms 149

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

Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful 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; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

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

Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, 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 execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;

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

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

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

To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
