< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise JAH. Sing to YHWH a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the people 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.
4 For YHWH takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.
5 Let the faithful ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
8 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 JAH.
