Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

Praise all of you the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

2 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

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

3 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

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

4 For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

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

5 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

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

6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, 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 do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

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

9 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!

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