Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion 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: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

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

4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

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

5 Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

Exultabunt sancti in gloria: lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6 The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

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

7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on 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 [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.

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