< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
Alleluya. Synge ye to the Lord a newe song; hise heriyng be in the chirche of seyntis.
2 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.
Israel be glad in hym that made hym; and the douytris of Syon make ful out ioye in her king.
3 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.
Herie thei his name in a queer; seie thei salm to hym in a tympan, and sautre.
4 For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.
For the Lord is wel plesid in his puple; and he hath reisid mylde men in to heelthe.
5 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.
Seyntis schulen make ful out ioye in glorie; thei schulen be glad in her beddis.
6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
The ful out ioiyngis of God in the throte of hem; and swerdis scharp on `ech side in the hondis of hem.
7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.
To do veniaunce in naciouns; blamyngis in puplis.
8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,
To bynde the kyngis of hem in stockis; and the noble men of hem in yrun manaclis.
9 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
That thei make in hem doom writun; this is glorye to alle hise seyntis.
