Psalms 149

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

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

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

Laetetur Israel in eo, qui fecit eum: et filiae Sion exultent in rege suo.

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

Laudent nomen eius 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 exaltavit mansuetos in salutem.

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

Exultabunt sancti in gloria: laetabuntur in cubilibus suis.

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

Exultationes 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 iudicium conscriptum: gloria haec est omnibus sanctis eius. Alleluia.
