Psalms 149

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

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

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

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

3 They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise 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 YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.

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

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

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

6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, 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 do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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

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

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

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

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