1
Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.
2
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
3
Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp.
4
For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
5
Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds.
6
May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7
to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
8
to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron,
9
to carry out the sentence written against them— this is the glory of all his faithful people. Praise the Lord.
