Psalms 149

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

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

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful 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 the dance: let them sing praises to him with the tambourine and harp.

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

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

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

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

6 The high songs of GOD be 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 execute an avenging among the nations, rebukes among the peoples:

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

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

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters 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 execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise you the LORD.
