Psalms 149

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

alleluia cantate Domino canticum novum laus eius in ecclesia sanctorum

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful 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: let them sing praises to 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 meek with salvation.

quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo et exaltabit mansuetos in salute

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

exultabunt sancti in gloria laetabuntur 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 conpedibus 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 iudicium conscriptum gloria haec est omnibus sanctis eius
