1Praise ye LORD. Sing to LORD a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified. 2Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King. 3Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp. 4For LORD takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation. 5Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds, 6The high praises of God [are] in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand 7to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples, 8to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron, 9to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye LORD.
