Psalm 149, Chant A

 

Psalm 149 Cantate Domino

1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song; *
sing his praise in the congregation of the faith-ful.

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Mak-er; *
let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them praise his Name in the dance; *
let them sing praise to him with tim-brel and harp.

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his peo-ple *
and adorns the poor with vic-tory.

5 Let the faithful rejoice in tri-umph; *
let them be joyful on their beds.

6 Let the praises of God be in their throat *
and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 To wreak vengeance on the na-tions *
and punishment on the peo-ples;

8 To bind their kings in chains *
and their nobles with links of i-ron;

9 To inflict on them the judgment de-creed; *
this is glory for all his faithful people. Hal-le-lu-jah!

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev-er. A-men.
