< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.
alleluia cantate Domino canticum novum laus eius in ecclesia sanctorum
2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
laetetur Israhel in eo qui fecit eum et filii Sion exultent in rege suo
3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!
laudent nomen eius in choro in tympano et psalterio psallant ei
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.
quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo et exaltabit mansuetos in salute
5 Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
exultabunt sancti in gloria laetabuntur in cubilibus suis
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,
exaltationes Dei in gutture eorum et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus increpationes in populis
8 to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
ad alligandos reges eorum in conpedibus et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis
9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise the LORD!
ut faciant in eis iudicium conscriptum gloria haec est omnibus sanctis eius
