Psalms 149

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

Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be 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 that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful 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 choir: let them sing 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 shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

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

The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

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

To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

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

To bind their kings with fetters, 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 execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
