Psalms 149 (LSV)

1Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, || His praise in an assembly of saints. 2Israel rejoices in his Maker, || Sons of Zion rejoice in their king. 3They praise His Name in a dance, || Sing praise to Him with timbrel and harp. 4For YHWH is pleased with His people, || He beautifies the humble with salvation. 5Saints exult in glory, || They sing aloud on their beds. 6The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, || And a two-edged sword in their hand. 7To do vengeance among nations, || Punishments among the peoples. 8To bind their kings with chains, || And their honored ones with chains of iron, 9To do among them the judgment written, || It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
