< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.
Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons of Zion rejoice in their king.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!
They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise to Him with timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.
For YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.
5 Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
Saints exult in glory, They sing aloud on their beds.
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, 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 vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.
8 to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
To bind their kings with chains, And their honored ones with chains of iron,
9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise the LORD!
To do among them the judgment written, It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
