< Psalms 149 >
1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.
Alleluja. [Cantate Domino canticum novum; laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Lætetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum, et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.
3 Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.
Laudent nomen ejus in choro; in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.
Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo, et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.
5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them sing for joy upon their beds.
Exsultabunt 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 upon the nations, and chastisements upon 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; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
ut faciant in eis judicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis ejus. Alleluja.]
