Psalmorum 149

1 Alleluia. Cantate Domino canticum novum: laus eius in Ecclesia sanctorum.

Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!

2 Lætetur Israel in eo, qui fecit eum: et filii Sion exultent in rege suo.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their king!

3 Laudent nomen eius in choro: in tympano, et psalterio psallant ei:

Let them praise his name in the dance; Let them praise him with the timbrel and harp!

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.

5 Exultabunt sancti in gloria: lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

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

Let the praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,

7 Ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus: increpationes in populis.

To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishment upon 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 fetters of iron;

9 Ut faciant in eis iudicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis eius. Alleluia.

To execute upon them the sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
