Psalms 149

World English Bible British Edition · Public domain

1

Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

Translation note

149:1 LORD or GOD in all caps is from the Hebrew יהוה Yahweh except when otherwise noted as being from the short form יה Yah.

2

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

3

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

4

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

5

Let the saints rejoice in honour. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

7

to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

8

to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9

to execute on them the written judgement. All his saints have this honour. Praise the LORD!
