Psalms 149
Cantate Domino. The church is particularly bound to praise God.
A lleluia. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle:
let his praise be in the church of the saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him:
and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.
3 Let them praise his name in choir:
let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.
4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people:
and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory:
they shall be joyful in their beds.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their mouth:
and two-edged swords in their hands:
7 To execute vengeance upon the nations,
chastisements among the people:
8 To bind their kings with fetters,
and their nobles with manacles of iron.
9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written:
this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
