## Psalm 149 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.
2. Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.
3. Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms 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 will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.
6. The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:
7. to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,
8. to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,
9. to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.

## Psalm 149 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. Alleluja. Cantate Domino canticum novum; laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
2. Lætetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum, et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.
3. Laudent nomen ejus in choro; in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.
4. Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo, et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.
5. Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.
6. Exaltationes Dei in gutture eorum, et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum:
7. ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis;
8. ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus, et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis;
9. ut faciant in eis judicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis ejus. Alleluja.
