Psalms 149

1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion 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 choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

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

5 The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

Exultabunt sancti in gloria: lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6 The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

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

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

Ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus: increpationes in populis.

8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

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