Psalmorum 149

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

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

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

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

3 Laudent nomen ejus 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 Exsultabunt 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 judicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis ejus. Alleluja.

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