Psalms 149

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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