Psalm 149
[149:1] Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints. [149:2] Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. [149:3] Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp! [149:4] For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation. [149:5] Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds. [149:6] May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand; [149:7] To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; [149:8] To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; [149:9] to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!
Psalm 150
[150:1] Praise Yah! Praise God in his sanctuary! Praise him in his heavens for his acts of power! [150:2] Praise him for his mighty acts! Praise him according to his excellent greatness! [150:3] Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet! Praise him with harp and lyre! [150:4] Praise him with tambourine and dancing! Praise him with stringed instruments and flute! [150:5] Praise him with loud cymbals! Praise him with resounding cymbals! [150:6] Let everything that has breath praise Yah! Praise Yah!
