¹Praise yee the Lord: Sing vnto the Lord a new song: and his prayse in the Congregation of Saints.¹

⁵Let the Saints be ioyfull in glory: let them sing aloude vpon their beddes.

⁶Let the high praises of God be in their mouth: and a two edged sword in their hand:⁶

⁷To execute vengeance vpon the heathen: and punishments vpon the people.

⁸To binde their Kings with chaines: and their Nobles with fetters of yron.

⁹To execute vpon them the iudgement written: This honour haue all his Saints. Praise ye the Lord.⁹
