Psalm 149:5–9

Let the godly exult in glory;

let them sing for joy on their beds.

Let the high praises of God be in their throats

and two-edged swords in their hands,

to execute vengeance on the nations

and punishments on the peoples,

to bind their kings with chains

and their nobles with fetters of iron,

to execute on them the judgment written!

This is honor for all his godly ones.

Praise the Lord!

Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor

and sing for joy on their beds.

May the praise of God be in their mouths

and a double-edged sword in their hands,

to inflict vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples,

to bind their kings with fetters,

their nobles with shackles of iron,

to carry out the sentence written against them—

this is the glory of all his faithful people.

Praise the Lord.

Let the faithful celebrate in triumphal glory;

let them shout for joy on their beds.

Let the exaltation of God be in their mouths

and a double-edged sword in their hands,

inflicting vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples,

binding their kings with chains

and their dignitaries with iron shackles,

carrying out the judgment decreed against them.

This honor is for all his faithful people.

Hallelujah!

Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them.

Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.

Let the praises of God be in their mouths,

and a sharp sword in their hands—

to execute vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples,

to bind their kings with shackles

and their leaders with iron chains,

to execute the judgment written against them.

This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones.

Praise the Lord!

Let the faithful exult in glory;

let them sing for joy on their beds.

Let the extolling of God be in their throat,

and a double-edged sword in their hand,

to execute vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples,

to bind their kings with chains

and their nobles with fetters of iron,

to execute on them the judgment that is decreed.

This will be honor for all his faithful ones;

Praise Yah.

Let the saints be joyful in glory:

Let them sing aloud upon their beds.

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,

And a twoedged sword in their hand;

To execute vengeance upon the heathen,

And punishments upon the people;

To bind their kings with chains,

And their nobles with fetters of iron;

To execute upon them the judgment written:

This honour have all his saints.

Praise ye the Lord.
