Psalms 149

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.	1 Al eluia! Sing a new song to Yahweh: his praise in the assembly of the faithful!
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.	2 Israel shall rejoice in its Maker, the children of Zion delight in their king;
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.	3 they shal dance in praise of his name, play to him on tambourines and harp!
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.	4 For Yahweh loves his people, he will crown the humble with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.	5 The faithful exult in glory, shout for joy as they worship him,
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;	6 praising God to the heights with their voices, a two-edged sword in their hands,
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;	7 to wreak vengeance on the nations, punishment on the peoples,
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;	8 to load their kings with chains and their nobles with iron fetters,
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.	9 to execute on them the judgement passed -- to the honour of al his faithful.
