Psalms 149

1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children 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 sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

Laudent nomen eius in choro: in tympano, et psalterio psallant ei:

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo: et exaltavit mansuetos in salutem.

5 Let the saints rejoice in honour. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

Exultabunt sancti in gloria: laetabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

Exultationes Dei in gutture eorum: et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum:

7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on 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 on them the written judgement. All his saints have this honour. Praise the LORD!

Ut faciant in eis iudicium conscriptum: gloria haec est omnibus sanctis eius. Alleluia.
