Psalms 149

1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

Praise ye Yah, Sing to Yahweh a song that is new, his praise in the convocation of the men of lovingkindness.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, Let the sons of Zion exult in their king;

3 Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

Let them praise his Name in the dance, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.

5 The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

Let the men of lovingkindness exult as they glory, Let them shout aloud upon their beds:

6 The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

The high songs of GOD be in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

To execute an avenging among the nations, rebukes among the peoples:

8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

To bind their kings with fetters, and their honoured ones with iron bands:

9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

To execute upon them the sentence written, An honour, shall it be to all his men of lovingkindness. Praise ye Yah!
