Psalms 149

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

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

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 sons of Zion exult 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, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

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

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

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

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

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

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

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

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

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

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

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

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