Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

3 Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

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

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

Exultabunt 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 against the nations, [and] punishment among 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 honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!

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