Psalms 149

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

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

2 Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people of Zion rejoice in their king.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them praise his name with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

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

For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

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

Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6 May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hand

The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

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

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