Psalms 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children 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 the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

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

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

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

Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

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

The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

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

To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:

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

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters 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 [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.
