OET-RV PSA Chapter 149

149 Praise Yahweh.

Sing a new song to Yahweh.

Praise him in the assembly of the faithful ones.

2 Let Israel’s people be glad about the one who made them.

≈Let Tsiyyon’s/Zion’s children be glad about their king.

3 Let them praise him with dancing—

making music with tambourines and harps,

4 because Yahweh appreciates his people,

and he honours humble people by saving them.

5 That honour will make the faithful people cheerful,

and they’ll happily sing during the night.

6 They should use their mouths to praise God,

but hold sharp swords in their hands

7 to inflict vengeance on the nations

≈and punishment on the people groups,

8 to tie their kings up with chains

≈and to put their nobles into iron shackles.

9 They’ll carry out the written judgements against them.

That’ll be an honour for all his faithful ones.

Praise Yahweh.
