Praise to God for His Future Judgment

149 Praise Yah.a

Sing to Yahweh a new song,

his praise in the assembly of the faithful.

2 Let Israel be glad in its maker;

let the children of Zion rejoice in their king.

3 Let them praise his name with dancing;

let them sing praises to him with tambourine and lyre.

4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people;

he glorifies the afflicted with salvation.

5 Let the faithful exult in glory;

let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Let the extolling of God be in their throat,

and a double-edged sword in their hand,

7 to execute vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples,b

8 to bind their kings with chains

and their ⌊nobles⌋c with fetters of iron,

9 to execute on them the judgment that is decreed.d

This will be honor for all his faithful ones;
