Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

Alleluya. Synge ye to the Lord a newe song; hise heriyng be in the chirche of seyntis.

2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

Israel be glad in hym that made hym; and the douytris of Syon make ful out ioye in her king.

3 Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

Herie thei his name in a queer; seie thei salm to hym in a tympan, and sautre.

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

For the Lord is wel plesid in his puple; and he hath reisid mylde men in to heelthe.

5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

Seyntis schulen make ful out ioye in glorie; thei schulen be glad in her beddis.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

The ful out ioiyngis of God in the throte of hem; and swerdis scharp on `ech side in the hondis of hem.

7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

To do veniaunce in naciouns; blamyngis in puplis.

8 to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

To bynde the kyngis of hem in stockis; and the noble men of hem in yrun manaclis.

9 to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!

That thei make in hem doom writun; this is glorye to alle hise seyntis.
