Psalms 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children 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 unto Him with the timbrel and harp.

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.

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

Let the saints 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

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 to execute vengeance on the nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.

To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon the peoples;

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

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

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

To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
