Psalms 149

1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the holy ones.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. 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 tambourine and harp!

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

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation [yeshu`ah].

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

5 Let the holy ones rejoice in honour. 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 high 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 punishments on the peoples;

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 on them the written judgement. All his holy ones have this honour. Praise the LORD!

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