Psalms 149

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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.

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

Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

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

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

The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

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

The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

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

to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

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

to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,

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

to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
