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, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.

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 its maker, sons of Zion exult 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, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

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

For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.

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

Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.

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

High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 To do veniaunce in naciouns; blamyngis in puplis.

on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,

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

binding 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 on them the doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
