Psalms 149

¹ Praise Yah. Sing to Yahweh a new song, His praise in the assembly of the benign ones. ² May Israel rejoice in its Maker; May the sons of Zion exult in their King. ³ May they praise His Name in chorus; With tambourine and harp may they make melody to Him. ⁴ For Yahweh is placing approval on His people; He is making the humble beautiful with salvation. ⁵ May the benign ones be joyous in this glory; May they be jubilant upon their beds. ⁶ May exaltations of El be in their throat And a serrated sword in their hand, ⁷ To execute vengeance on the nations, Corrections on the national groups; ⁸ To bind their kings with manacles And their glorious nobles with fetters of iron, ⁹ To execute the written judgment against them, This is the honor of all His benign ones. Praise Yah.
