Psalms 149

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

Praise Adonai! Sing to Adonai a new song, his tehilah ·praise song· in the assembly of the saints.

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

Let Israel [God prevails] rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] 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 sing zahmar ·musical praise· to him with tambourine and harp!

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

For Adonai takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with yishu'ah ·salvation·.

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

Let the saints rejoice in kavod ·weighty glory·. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

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

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

To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on 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 on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
