Psalmorum 149

1 alleluia cantate Domino canticum novum laus eius in ecclesia sanctorum

Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto 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 him that made him; 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 praise him with the timbrel and harp!

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.

5 exultabunt sancti in gloria laetabuntur in cubilibus suis

Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

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

Let the 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 punishment upon 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 sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
