Psalms 149

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

Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto 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 him that made him; Let the sons 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 praise 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 will beautify the distressed with salvation.

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

Let the godly-rejoice in their 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.

Let the 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 punishment 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 sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
