Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!

Alleluja. Cantate Domino canticum novum; laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their king!

Lætetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum, et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance; Let them praise him with the timbrel and harp!

Laudent nomen ejus in choro; in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.

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

5 Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6 Let the praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,

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

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishment upon the peoples!

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 sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!

ut faciant in eis judicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis ejus. Alleluja.
