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 Israhel in eo qui fecit eum et filii 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 exaltabit mansuetos in salute

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 exaltationes 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 conpedibus 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

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