1750 Challoner Revision of the Douay-Rheims (DR)

1 The prophet exhorteth to praise God for his love to the Church, 5 and for that power which he hath given to the Church.

149:1 ¶ Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

149:2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

149:3 Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

149:4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

149:5 The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

149:6 The high praises of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

149:7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

149:8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

149:9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
