< Psalmorum 149 >
1 Alleluja. [Cantate Domino canticum novum; laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.
2 Lætetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum, et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.
3 Laudent nomen ejus in choro; in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.
Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.
4 Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo, et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.
For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.
5 Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.
The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.
6 Exaltationes Dei in gutture eorum, et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum:
The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:
7 ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis;
To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:
8 ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus, et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis;
To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.
9 ut faciant in eis judicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis ejus. Alleluja.]
To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
