Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

2 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

3 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

4 For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

5 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

9 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!

To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.
