^149:1 Praise Jehovah.

    Sing to Jehovah a new song and his praise in the assembly of the holy ones. ^149:2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King. ^149:3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

    ^149:4 Because Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation. ^149:5 Let the holy ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

    ^149:6 The high praises of God are in their mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand ^149:7 to execute vengeance upon the nations and punishments upon the peoples, ^149:8 to bind their kings with chains and their ranking men with fetters of iron, ^149:9 to execute upon them the written judgment. All his holy ones have this honor.

    Praise Jehovah.
