Psalms 149

1 Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

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

Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons of Zion rejoice in their king.

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

They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise to Him with timbrel and harp.

4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

For YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.

5 Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

Saints exult in glory, They sing aloud on their beds.

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

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

7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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

To bind their kings with chains, And their honored ones with chains of iron,

9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!

To do among them the judgment written, It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
