Psalmorum 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children 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 praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.

5 Exultabunt sancti in gloria: laetabuntur in cubilibus suis.

Let the saints exult in glory; let them sing 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 upon the nations, and chastisements 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 haec est omnibus sanctis eius. Alleluia.

To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
