Psalms 149

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

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion 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 choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

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

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

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

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

6 The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords 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 execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

To do veniaunce in naciouns; blamyngis in puplis.

8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles 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 that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

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