< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the saints.
Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.
5 Let the saints exult in glory: let them sing for joy upon their beds.
Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.
6 [Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples;
To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.
8 To bind their king’s with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
