Speaking of binding in chains, I especially liked the Anglo-Saxon metrical rendering of Psalm 149. It has its origins at least from the 7th century. It may in fact be the earliest metrical Psalter we possess.

Psalm 149

6 Gladshipes of God in throte of tha,
Gripinges of swerde in thair hende als-swa;

7 In birthes wrekes for to do,
Snibbinges in ma folk thar-to;

8 To binde thair kinges in fote-festenes
And thair worthi in iren festeles.

9 Dome writen in tham, that do thai;
Blisse this es to all his haleghs ai.
