Psalms 149

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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.

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

Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

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

The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

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

The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

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

to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

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

to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,

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

to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
