1. Praise the Lord!

1. Sing unto the Lord a new song,

1. and His praise in the assembly of the godly ones.

2. Let Israel rejoice in its Maker;

2. let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3. Let them praise His name with dancing;

3. let them sing praises unto Him with the tambourine and harp.

4. For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;

4. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5. Let the godly ones be joyful in glory;

5. let them sing for joy on their beds.

6. Let the high praises of God be in their mouths,

6. and two-edged swords in their hands,

7. to execute vengeance on the nations,

7. and punishments on the peoples;

8. to bind their kings with chains,

8. and their nobles with shackles of iron;

9. to execute upon them the written judgment;

9. this is honor for all His godly ones.

9. Praise the Lord!
