Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

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

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

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

5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

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

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged 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 upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;

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

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.
