Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

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

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

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

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

5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

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

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

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

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

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

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

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