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 YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

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

Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons of Zion rejoice in their king.

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

They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise to Him with timbrel and harp.

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

For YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.

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

Saints exult in glory, They sing aloud on their beds.

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

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments 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 honored ones with chains 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 do among them the judgment written, It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
