Psalms 149

Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

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

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

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

Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

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

to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

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

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

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

to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise the LORD!

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