Psalmorum 149

1 Alleluia. Cantate Domino canticum novum: laus eius in ecclesia sanctorum.

Praise you the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

2 Laetetur Israel in eo, qui fecit eum: et filiae Sion exultent in rege suo.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children 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 praises to him with the tambourine and harp.

4 Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo: et exaltavit mansuetos in salutem.

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Exultabunt sancti in gloria: laetabuntur in cubilibus suis.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud on their beds.

6 Exultationes 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 on the heathen, and punishments on the people;

8 Ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus: 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. Alleluia.

To execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise you the LORD.
