Psalmorum 149

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

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

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

For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

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

The high praises of God are 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 punishments upon the peoples,

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

to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

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

to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
