Psalms 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing to the Lord a new song, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.

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

Let Israel rejoice in its maker, 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 the dance, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

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

For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.

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

Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.

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

High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

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

on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,

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

binding 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 doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
