Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people 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; let them sing praises 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.

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

They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

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

They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
