< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.
Alleluja. [Cantate Domino canticum novum; laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Lætetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum, et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.
Laudent nomen ejus in choro; in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.
4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.
Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo, et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.
5 Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.
Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.
6 [Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;
Exaltationes Dei in gutture eorum, et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum:
7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon 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 compedibus, et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.
ut faciant in eis judicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis ejus. Alleluja.]
