Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

Praise you the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises to him with the tambourine and harp.

4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud on their beds.

6 The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

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

7 to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

To execute vengeance on the heathen, and punishments on the people;

8 to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.

To execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise you the LORD.
