1Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD
2a new song, his praise in
3the assembly of the godly!
2
Let Israel
4be glad in
5his Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their
6King!
3
Let them praise his name with
7dancing, making melody to him with
8tambourine and
9lyre!
4
For the LORD
10takes pleasure in his people; he
11adorns the humble with salvation.
5
Let the godly exult in glory; let them
12sing for joy on their
13beds.
6
Let
14the high praises of God be in their throats and
15two-edged swords in their hands,
7
to execute vengeance on the nations and punishments on the peoples,
8
to bind their kings with
16chains and their nobles with fetters of iron,
9
to execute on them the judgment
17written!
18This is honor for all his godly ones.
19Praise the LORD!
