Psalms 149

1Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly 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.

2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

3Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.

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.

4For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.

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

5Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

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

6Letthe high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

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

7To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;

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

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

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

9To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.

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