Psalms

149 Praise ye Yah, Sing to Yahweh a song that is new, His praise in the convocation of the men of lovingkindness.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, Let the sons of Zion exult in their king;

3 Let them praise his Name in the dance, With timbrel and lyre let them make music to him.

4 For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.

5 Let the men of lovingkindness exult as they glory, Let them shout aloud upon their beds:

6 The high songs of God be in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 To execute An avenging among the nations, Rebukes among the peoples:

8 To bind Their kings with fetters, and Their honoured ones with iron bands:

9 To execute upon them the sentence written, An honour shall it be to all his men of lovingkindness. Praise ye Yah!
