Psalmorum 149

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

Praise ye Yah, Sing to Yahweh a song that is new, his praise in the convocation of the men of lovingkindness.

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 exult in their king;

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

Let them praise his Name in the dance, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

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

For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.

5 Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

Let the men of lovingkindness exult as they glory, Let them shout aloud upon their beds:

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

The high songs of GOD be in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis;

To execute an avenging among the nations, rebukes among the peoples:

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

To bind their kings with fetters, and their honoured ones with iron bands:

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

To execute upon them the sentence written, An honour, shall it be to all his men of lovingkindness. Praise ye Yah!
