Psalms 149

1 Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

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

2 Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

Laetetur Israel in eo, qui fecit eum: et filiae Sion exultent in rege suo.

3 Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

Laudent nomen eius in choro: in tympano, et psalterio psallant ei:

4 For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

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

5 Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

Exultabunt sancti in gloria: laetabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

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

7 To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

Ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus: increpationes in populis.

8 To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

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

9 To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.

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