Psalms 149

1 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

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

2 Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

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

3 Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

Laudent nomen ejus in choro; in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.

4 For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

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

5 Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6 May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

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

7 ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis;

8 to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus, et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis;

9 to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!

ut faciant in eis judicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis ejus. Alleluja.]
