Psalm 149

149 Praise Yahweh!

    Sing to Yahweh a new song,

    his praise in the assembly of the saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them.

    Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance!

    Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people.

    He crowns the humble with salvation.

5 Let the saints rejoice in honor.

    Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths,

    and a two-edged sword in their hand,

7 to execute vengeance on the nations,

    and punishments on the peoples;

8 to bind their kings with chains,

    and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 to execute on them the written judgment.

    All his saints have this honor.

Praise Yah!
