Psalms 149

1Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

1Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

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

2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

2Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

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

3Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

3Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

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

4For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

4For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

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

5The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

5Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

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

6The high praises of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

6Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

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

7To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

7To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

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

8To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

8To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

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

9To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

9To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.

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