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.

laetetur Israhel 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 salute

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

exultabunt sancti in gloria laetabuntur 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 conpedibus 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 haec est omnibus sanctis eius
