[1] Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, praise Him in the assembly of His saints! [2] Let Israel rejoice in Him, their Maker; let Zion's children triumph and be joyful in their King! [3] Let them praise His name in chorus and choir and with the [single or group] dance; let them sing praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre! [4] For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation and adorn the wretched with victory. [5] Let the saints be joyful in the glory and beauty [which God confers upon them]; let them sing for joy upon their beds. [6] Let the high praises of God be in their throats and a two-edged sword in their hands, [7] To wreak vengeance upon the nations and chastisement upon the peoples, [8] To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron, [9] To execute upon them the judgment written. He [the Lord] is the honor of all His saints. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
