Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, [and] his praise in the congregation of saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children 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 praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

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

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

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

5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

Exultabunt sancti in gloria: lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6 [Let] the high [praises] of God [be] in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

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

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [and] punishments upon the people;

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. Praise ye the LORD.

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