Psalms 149

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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, Let the sons of Zion exult in their king;

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.

3 Let them praise his Name in the dance, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and psaltery.

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

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

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

The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.

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

The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

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

to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;

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

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.

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