Psalms 149

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

Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons of Zion 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 the dance; Let them praise him with the timbrel and harp!

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.

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

Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

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

Let the praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,

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

To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishment upon the peoples!

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 sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
