Psalms 149

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

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

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

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

For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

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

Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

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

The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

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

to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

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

to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

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

to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
