Psalm 149

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 Exsultabunt sancti in gloria ; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

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

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

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

7 ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis ;

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

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

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

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

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