Psalms 149

1 Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the people of Zion be joyful in their King.

Israel be glad in hym that made hym; and the douytris of Syon make ful out ioye in her king.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

Herie thei his name in a queer; seie thei salm to hym in a tympan, and sautre.

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

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

5 Let the faithful ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, 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 execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

To do veniaunce in naciouns; blamyngis in puplis.

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

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

9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his faithful ones have this honor. Praise the LORD.

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