Psalms 149

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 To do veniaunce in naciouns; blamyngis in puplis.

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

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

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

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

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