Psalmorum 149

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

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

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

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

7 ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis;

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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

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

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

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