87a. Cantate Domino

1 Sing ye unto the Lord our God,
a new rejoycing song:
And let the praise of him be heard
his holy Saints among.
2 Let Israel rejoyce in him,
that made him of nothing
And let the seed of Sion eke
be joyfull in their King.

3 Let them sound praise with voice of flute,
unto his holy Name,
And with the timbrell and the harp
sing praises to the same.
4 For why? the Lord his pleasure all
hath in his people set:
And by deliverance he will raise
the meeke to glory great.

5 With glory and with honour now
let all his Saints rejoyce:
And now aloud upon their beds
advance their singing voice.
6 And in their mouthes let be the acts
of God the mighty Lord:
And in their hands eke let them bear
a double-edged sword.

7 To plague the heathen, and correct
the people with their hands:
8 To bind their stately Kings in chaines,
their lords in iron bands.
9 To execute on them the doome
that written is before:
This honour all his Saints shall have,
praise ye the Lord therefore.
