< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.
Alleluia. Cantate Domino canticum novum: laus eius in ecclesia sanctorum.
2 Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.
Laetetur Israel in eo, qui fecit eum: et filiae Sion exultent in rege suo.
3 Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.
Laudent nomen eius in choro: in tympano, et psalterio psallant ei:
4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.
Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo: et exaltavit mansuetos in salutem.
5 Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.
Exultabunt sancti in gloria: laetabuntur in cubilibus suis.
6 Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,
Exultationes Dei in gutture eorum: et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum:
7 To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:
Ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus: increpationes in populis.
8 To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,
Ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus: et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis.
9 That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.
Ut faciant in eis iudicium conscriptum: gloria haec est omnibus sanctis eius. Alleluia.
