Psalms 149

1 Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people of Zion rejoice in their king.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.

3 Let them praise his name with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.

4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

5 Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.

6 May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hand

The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

7 to execute vengeance on the nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.

to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;

8 They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints.

9 They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
