1
Praise the LORD![a] Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.
2
Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3
Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!
4
For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.
5
Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6
May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,
7
to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
8
to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9
to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise the LORD![b]
