Alleluia.

Alleluja.

(Alleluia.)

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

Cantate Domino canticum novum; laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.

Sing the Lord a new song; here, where the faithful gather, let his praise be heard.

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

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

In him, the maker of Israel, let Israel triumph; for him, the ruler of Sion, let Sion’s children keep holiday;

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

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

let there be dancing in honour of his name, music of tambour and of harp, to praise him.

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

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

Still the Lord shews favour to his people, still he relieves the oppressed, and grants them victory.

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

Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis.

In triumph let thy faithful servants rejoice, rejoice and take their rest.

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

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

Ever on their lips they bear the high praise of God, ever in their hands they carry two-edged swords,

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

ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis;

ready to take vengeance upon the heathen,

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

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

to curb the nations, to chain the kings, and bind princes in fetters of iron.

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

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

Long since their doom is written; boast it is of his true servants that doom to execute. Alleluia.
