Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

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

2 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

Lætetur Israel in eo, qui fecit eum: et filii Sion exultent in rege suo.

3 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

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

4 For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

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

5 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

Exultabunt sancti in gloria: lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

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

7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

Ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus: increpationes in populis.

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

Ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus: et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis.

9 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!

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