Psalms 149

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

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, Let the sons of Zion exult 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, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

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

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

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

6 The high songs of GOD be in their throat, 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 an avenging among the nations, rebukes among the peoples:

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

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

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles 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. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
