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 Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people of Zion rejoice 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 with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

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

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

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

Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

May the praises of God be in their mouths 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 nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.

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

They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

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

They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
