Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

Alleluia. Cantate Domino canticum novum: laus eius in ecclesia sanctorum.

2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

Lætetur Israel in eo, qui fecit eum: et filii Sion exultent in rege suo.

3 Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music 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 adorns the afflicted with salvation.

Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo: et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.

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

Exultabunt sancti in gloria: lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

Exaltationes Dei in gutture eorum: et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum:

7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

Ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus: increpationes in populis.

8 to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

Ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus: et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis.

9 to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!

Ut faciant in eis iudicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis eius. Alleluia.
