Psal. 149. Cantate Domino.
Halelu-jah.
1
Sing to the Lord a new-set song,un-heard in former daies:
His Saints assemblies sing among,
and celebrate his praise.
2
With joy his Makers praise to sing,let Israel make choice;
As loyall Subjects to their King;
let Sions sons rejoyce.
3
To praise his Name with Flute and Dance,his praise in consort sing,
With Timbrels touch his praise advance,
with Hymnes and Harps sweet string.
4
The Lord is with his people pleas'd,the meeke in heart cast downe,
With his Salvations beauty eas'd,
with glorious Wreath to crowne.
5
In glory let the Saints rejoyce,in holy company;
292
as on their beds they lye.
6
Of Gods high praises, let the wordwithin their throat resound;
And in their hand a two-mouth'd sword,
on each side sharp, be found.
7
The Heath'ns with vengeance to pursue,with pride, that so did swell:
The Nations, with reprovings due,
to checke, when they rebell.
8
To bind their Kings in captive chaines,and leave their Hosts no head:
Their Nobles, with their lordly traines,
in iron bolts to lead.
9
To execute the Judgement writ,upon them every one:
Such honour as doth best befit,
to all his Saints be done.
Halelu-jah.
