Psalms 149

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

Alleluja. Cantate Domino canticum novum; laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.

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

Lætetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum, et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.

3 Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

Laudent nomen ejus 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.

Exsultabunt 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 judicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis ejus. Alleluja.
