Psalms 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing to the Lord a new song, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.

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

Let Israel rejoice in its maker, 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 the dance, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

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

For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.

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

Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.

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

High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

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

on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,

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

binding 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 doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
