Psalm
Psalms, 149
1 Praise Jah, YOU people!*1 Sing to Jehovah a new song, His praise in the congregation*2 of loyal ones.
|
2 Let Israel rejoice in its grand Maker,*1 The sons of Zion—let them be joyful in their King.
|
3 Let them praise his name with dancing. With the tambourine and the harp let them make melody to him.
4 For Jehovah is taking pleasure in his people. He beautifies the meek ones with salvation.
5 Let the loyal ones exult in glory;*1 Let them cry out joyfully on their beds.
|
6 Let the songs extolling God*1 be in their throat, And a two-edged sword be in their hand,
|
7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, Rebukes upon the national groups,
8 To bind their kings with shackles And their glorified*1 ones with fetters of iron,
|
9 To execute upon them the judicial decision written. Such splendor belongs to all his loyal ones. Praise Jah, YOU people!
