Psalms 149

1 Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

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

4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

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

5 Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

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

7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis;

8 to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

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

9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!

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