Psalm 149

1Sing ye to Jehovah a song that is new: His praise is in the assembly of the merciful ones.

2Rejoice let Israel in his Maker; Let the children of Zion exult in their king:

3Let them praise his name on the pipe: On the timbrel and the harp let them sing psalms to him.

4For taken pleasure hath Jehovah in his people: He will glorify the poor ones unto salvation.

5Exult let the merciful ones in glory; Let them shout with joy on their couches.

6The exaltations of God are in their mouth, And a sword of two edges in their hand;

7To execute vengeance on the heathen, Chastisements on the nations:

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

9To execute upon them the judgment written. This honor is to all his merciful ones. Hallelujah.
