Psalms 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.

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 his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful 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 in the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble 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 sing 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.

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

7 To do veniaunce in naciouns; blamyngis in puplis.

To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon 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 fetters of iron;

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

To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
