Psalms 149

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.	1 Al eluia! Sing a new song to Yahweh: his praise in the assembly of the faithful!
2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.	2 Israel shall rejoice in its Maker, the children of Zion delight in their king;
3 Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.	3 they shal dance in praise of his name, play to him on tambourines and harp!
4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.	4 For Yahweh loves his people, he will crown the humble with salvation.
5 The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.	5 The faithful exult in glory, shout for joy as they worship him,
6 The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:	6 praising God to the heights with their voices, a two-edged sword in their hands,
7 to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,	7 to wreak vengeance on the nations, punishment on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,	8 to load their kings with chains and their nobles with iron fetters,
9 to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.	9 to execute on them the judgement passed -- to the honour of al his faithful.
