Psalms 149

1 Praise Yahweh! Sing a new song to Yahweh, praise him whenever [his] faithful [people] gather together!

Hallelujah! Singet Jehovah ein neues Lied, Sein Lob in der Versammlung der Heiligen.

2 [You] Israeli people, be glad because of [what God], who created you, [has done for you]! You people of Jerusalem, rejoice because of [what God] your king [has done for you]!

Israel, sei fröhlich in Dem, so Ihn gemacht hat! Die Söhne Zions sollen frohlocken in ihrem König!

3 Praise Yahweh by dancing, by beating/playing tambourines, and by playing harps to praise him!

Sie sollen loben Seinen Namen in Reigen, singt Ihm Psalmen auf Pauke und Harfe!

4 Yahweh is pleased with his people; he honors humble [people] by helping them to defeat [their enemies].

Denn Wohlgefallen hat Jehovah an Seinem Volke. Die Elenden schmückt Er mit Heil.

5 God’s people should rejoice because they have won battles and they should sing joyfully all during the night!

Jauchzen sollen in Herrlichkeit die Heiligen, auf ihren Lagern jubeln.

6 They [MTY] should shout loudly to praise God; but [they should also hold] sharp swords in their hands,

Mit ihren Kehlen Gott erhöhen, und in ihrer Hand das zweischneidige Schwert,

7 [ready to use them] to defeat the [soldiers of] nations [that do not worship God], and to punish the people [of those nations],

Zu üben Rache an den Völkerschaften, an den Volksstämmen Strafen.

8 and to fasten the arms and legs of their kings and other leaders with iron chains,

Zu binden ihre Könige mit Ketten, und ihre Herrlichen mit eisernen Fußschellen.

9 to judge [and punish] the people of those nations, like [God] wrote/declared [should be done]. It is (a privilege/an honor) for God’s faithful people to do that! Praise Yahweh!

An ihnen das geschriebene Gericht zu tun. Solche Ehre haben alle Seine Heiligen. Hallelujah!
