1 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.
2 Israel shall be joyful in his Maker; The sons of Zion shall rejoice in their King.
3 They shall praise His name with dancing; They shall sing praises to Him with tambourine and lyre.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will glorify the lowly with salvation.
5 The godly ones shall be jubilant in glory; They shall sing for joy on their beds.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their mouths, And a two-edged sword in their hands,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishment on the peoples,
8 To bind their kings with chains, And their dignitaries with shackles of iron,
9 To execute against them the judgment written. This is an honor for all His godly ones. Praise the Lord!
