1
Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful!
2
Let Israel be glad in his Maker, let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King!
3
Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with timbrel and lyre!
4
For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with victory.
5
Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their couches.
6
Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands,
7
to wreak vengeance on the nations and chastisement on the peoples,
8
to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron,
9
to execute on them the judgment written! This is glory for all his faithful ones. Praise the LORD!
