< Psalms 149 >
1 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 that made him, Let the sons of Zion exult in their king;
3 Let them praise his Name in the dance, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.
4 For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.
5 Let the men of lovingkindness exult as they glory, Let them shout aloud upon their beds:
6 The high songs of GOD be in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand:
7 To execute an avenging among the nations, rebukes among the peoples:
8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their honoured ones with iron bands:
9 To execute upon them the sentence written, An honour, shall it be to all his men of lovingkindness. Praise ye Yah!
