Psalmorum 149

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

Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

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

Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

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

They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

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

For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

5 Exultabunt sancti in gloria: laetabuntur in cubilibus suis.

Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

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

The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

7 Ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus: increpationes in populis.

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

8 Ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus: et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis.

To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

9 Ut faciant in eis iudicium conscriptum: gloria haec est omnibus sanctis eius. Alleluia.

To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
