< Psalms 149 >
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly 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 exult 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 sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.
Laudent nomen eius in choro: in tympano, et psalterio psallant ei:
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo: et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
Exultabunt sancti in gloria: lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
Exaltationes Dei in gutture eorum: et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum:
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;
Ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus: increpationes in populis.
8 to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints.
Ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus: et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis.
Ut faciant in eis iudicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis eius. Alleluia.
