Psalms 149

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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!
