< Psalmorum 149 >
1 Alleluia. Cantate Domino canticum novum: laus eius in Ecclesia sanctorum.
Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
2 Lætetur Israel in eo, qui fecit eum: et filii Sion exultent in rege suo.
Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons of Zion rejoice in their king.
3 Laudent nomen eius in choro: in tympano, et psalterio psallant ei:
They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise to Him with timbrel and harp.
4 Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo: et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.
For YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.
5 Exultabunt sancti in gloria: lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.
Saints exult in glory, 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 honored ones with chains of iron,
9 Ut faciant in eis iudicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis eius. Alleluia.
To do among them the judgment written, It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
