Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children 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 sing praises to 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 meek with salvation.

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

5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

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

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon 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 written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

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