1Halelu-JAH. Sing unto the LORD a new song, let his praise [be] in the congregation of the merciful. 2Let Israel rejoice with his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful with their King. 3Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. 4For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he will beautify the humble with saving health. 5The merciful shall be joyful with glory; they shall sing aloud upon their beds. 6The high [praises] of God [shall be] in their mouth and a twoedged sword in their hand, 7to execute vengeance upon the Gentiles [and] punishments upon the peoples, 8to imprison their kings with fetters and their nobles with chains of iron, 9to execute upon them the judgment written: this shall be glory for all his merciful ones. Halelu-JAH.:
