Psalms 149

1Alleluia. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

Alleluja. Cantate Domino canticum novum; laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.

2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

Lætetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum, et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.

3Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

Laudent nomen ejus in choro; in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.

4For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo, et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.

5The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6The high praises of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

Exaltationes Dei in gutture eorum, et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum:

7To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis;

8To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus, et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis;

9To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

ut faciant in eis judicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis ejus. Alleluja.
