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 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 sons of Zion exult 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, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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