Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

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; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.

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

The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

7 To do veniaunce in naciouns; blamyngis in puplis.

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

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints.

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