[1] Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song. Praise him in the assembly of the godly. [2] Let Israel rejoice in their Creator. Let the people of Zion delight in their King. [3] Let them praise his name with dancing. Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp. [4] For the LORD takes delight in his people; he exalts the oppressed by delivering them. [5] Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication. Let them shout for joy upon their beds. [6] May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hands, [7] in order to take revenge on the nations, and punish foreigners. [8] The godly bind their enemies' kings in chains, and their nobles in iron shackles, [9] and execute the judgment to which their enemies have been sentenced. All his loyal followers will be vindicated. Praise the LORD.
