Praise the Lord. 1
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.
