Psalmorum 149

1 alleluia cantate Domino canticum novum laus eius in ecclesia sanctorum

Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

2 laetetur Israhel in eo qui fecit eum et filii Sion exultent in rege suo

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

3 laudent nomen eius in choro in tympano et psalterio psallant ei

Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

4 quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo et exaltabit mansuetos in salute

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

5 exultabunt sancti in gloria laetabuntur in cubilibus suis

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

6 exaltationes Dei in gutture eorum et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus increpationes in populis

to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 ad alligandos reges eorum in conpedibus et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis

to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

9 ut faciant in eis iudicium conscriptum gloria haec est omnibus sanctis eius

to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
