Psalm 149:5–8

5 Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor

and sing for joy on their beds.

6 May the praise of God be in their mouths

and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 to inflict vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples,

8 to bind their kings with fetters,

their nobles with shackles of iron,

5 Let the godly exult in glory;

let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats

and two-edged swords in their hands,

7 to execute vengeance on the nations

and punishments on the peoples,

8 to bind their kings with chains

and their nobles with fetters of iron,

5 Let the saints be joyful in glory:

Let them sing aloud upon their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,

And a twoedged sword in their hand;

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen,

And punishments upon the people;

8 To bind their kings with chains,

And their nobles with fetters of iron;

5 Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them.

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

6 Let the praises of God be in their mouths,

and a sharp sword in their hands—

7 to execute vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples,

8 to bind their kings with shackles

and their leaders with iron chains,

5 Let those who worship him rejoice in his glory.

Let them sing for joy even in bed!

6 Let them shout his praise

with their two-edged swords in their hands.

7 They will punish the nations

and defeat the people.

8 They will put those kings in chains

and those important men in iron bands.

5 Let the saints exult in glory:

Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,

And a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations,

And punishments upon the peoples;

And their nobles with fetters of iron;

5 Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

6 Let the high praises of •God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand: 7 To execute vengeance against the nations, and punishment among the peoples; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

5 Let godly people triumph in glory. 

Let them sing for joy on their beds. 

6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats 

and two-edged swords in their hands 

7 to take vengeance on the nations, 

to punish the people of the world, 

8 to put their kings in chains 

and their leaders in iron shackles, 

5 Let the godly celebrate in triumphal glory;

let them shout for joy on their beds.

6 Let the exaltation of God be in their mouths

and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 inflicting vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples,

8 binding their kings with chains

and their dignitaries with iron shackles,

5 Let the faithful exult in glory;

let them sing for joy on their couches.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats

and two-edged swords in their hands,

7 to execute vengeance on the nations

and their nobles with chains of iron,

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,

8 to bind their kings with chains

and their nobles with fetters of iron,

5 Let his faithful people be filled with joy because of that honor.

Let them sing with joy even when they are lying in bed.

6 May they praise God with their mouths.

May they hold in their hands a sword that has two edges.

7 Let them pay the nations back.

Let them punish the people of the earth.

8 Let them put the kings of those nations in chains.

Let them put their nobles in iron chains.
