PSALM 149
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord: unto him sing
a new song, and his praise
In the assembly of his saints
in sweet psalms do ye raise.
2Let Isr'el in his Maker joy,
and to him praises sing:
Let all that Sion's children are
be joyful in their King.
3O let them unto his great name
give praises in the dance;
Let them with timbrel and with harp
in songs his praise advance.
4For God doth pleasure take in those
that his own people be;
And he with his salvation
the meek will beautify.
5And in his glory excellent
let all his saints rejoice:
Let them to him upon their beds
aloud lift up their voice.
6Let in their mouth aloft be rais'd
the high praise of the Lord,
And let them have in their right hand
a sharp two-edged sword;
7To execute the vengeance due
upon the heathen all,
And make deserved punishment
upon the people fall.
8And ev'n with chains, as pris'ners, bind
their kings that them command;
Yea, and with iron fetters strong,
the nobles of their land.
9On them the judgment to perform
found written in his word:
This honour is to all his saints.
O do ye praise the Lord.

Tehillim (Psalms) 149
149
1Praise Yah! Sing to יהוה a new song, His praise in an assembly of lovingly-committed ones.
2Let Yisra’ĕl rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Tsiyon exult in their Sovereign.
3Let them praise His Name in a dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre.
4For יהוה takes pleasure in His people; He embellishes the meek ones with deliverance.
5Let the lovingly-committed ones exult in esteem; Let them sing aloud on their beds.
6Let the exaltation of Ěl be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7To execute vengeance on the nations, Punishments on the peoples;
8To bind their sovereigns with chains, And their nobles with iron bands;
9To execute on them the written right-ruling; A splendour it is for all His lovingly-committed ones. Praise Yah!
