149:1 Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, His praise in the assembly of the saints.

149:2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

149:3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

149:4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

149:5 Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

149:6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

149:7 To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples;

149:8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;
