Salmi 149

1 Cantate al Signore un canto nuovo; la sua lode nell'assemblea dei fedeli. Alleluia.

Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

2 Gioisca Israele nel suo Creatore, esultino nel loro Re i figli di Sion.

Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

3 Lodino il suo nome con danze, con timpani e cetre gli cantino inni.

Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

4 Il Signore ama il suo popolo, incorona gli umili di vittoria.

For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

5 Esultino i fedeli nella gloria, sorgano lieti dai loro giacigli.

Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

6 Le lodi di Dio sulla loro bocca e la spada a due tagli nelle loro mani,

Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

7 per compiere la vendetta tra i popoli e punire le genti;

To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

8 per stringere in catene i loro capi, i loro nobili in ceppi di ferro;

To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

9 per eseguire su di essi il giudizio gia scritto: questa è la gloria per tutti i suoi fedeli. Alleluia.

To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.
