1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker; Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.3 Let them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre.4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation.5 Let the godly ones exult in glory; Let them sing for joy on their beds.6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,7 To execute vengeance on the nations And punishment on the peoples,8 To bind their kings with chains And their nobles with fetters of iron,9 To execute on them the judgment written; This is an honor for all His godly ones. Praise the LORD!
