1Praisea ye the LORD.Sing unto the LORD a newsong, and his praise in the congregation of saints.2
Let Israelrejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.3
Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.4
For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.5
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.6
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,b and a twoedgedsword in their hand;7
To executevengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;8
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;9
To execute upon them the judgmentwritten : this honour have all his saints.Praise ye the LORD.
