Psalmorum 149

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

Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

2 Lætetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum, et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

3 Laudent nomen ejus in choro; in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.

Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

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

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

5 Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

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

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis;

to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus, et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis;

to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

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

to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
