Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation 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 his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful 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 in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

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

5 Let the godly 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 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

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

7 To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;

To do veniaunce in naciouns; blamyngis in puplis.

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!

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