< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
Alleluja. [Cantate Domino canticum novum; laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
2 Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons of Zion rejoice in their king.
Lætetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum, et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.
3 They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise to Him with timbrel and harp.
Laudent nomen ejus in choro; in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.
4 For YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.
Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo, et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.
5 Saints exult in glory, They sing aloud on their beds.
Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.
6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
Exaltationes Dei in gutture eorum, et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum:
7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.
ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis;
8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honored ones with chains of iron,
ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus, et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis;
9 To do among them the judgment written, It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
ut faciant in eis judicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis ejus. Alleluja.]
