Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their king!

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

Let them praise his name in the dance; Let them praise him with the timbrel and harp!

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

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

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

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

6 [Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, 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 execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;

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

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles 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: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.

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