Psalmorum 149

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

Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

2 Laetetur Israel in eo, qui fecit eum: et filiae Sion exultent in rege suo.

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; 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 sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

5 Exultabunt sancti in gloria: laetabuntur in cubilibus suis.

Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

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

Let the high 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 against the nations, [and] punishment among 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 haec est omnibus sanctis eius. Alleluia.

To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
