Psalms 149

1Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of thegodly.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

3 Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

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

5 Let thegodly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

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

6 Let the high praises ofGod be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

6The exaltation of God <FI>is<Fi> in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

7 To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;

7To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!

9To do among them the judgment written, An honour it <FI>is<Fi> for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
