Psalmorum 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult in their King.

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

Let them praise his name in the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

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

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

5 Exultabunt sancti in gloria: lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

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

The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

7 Ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus: increpationes in populis.

To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:

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 judgment [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.
