1Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, His praise in the congregation of saints. 2Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; 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 the timbrel and harp. 4For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the meek with salvation. 5Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud on their beds. 6[Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand, 7to carry out vengeance on the nations [and] punishments on the peoples, 8to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron-bands, 9to carry out on them the judgment written; this [is an] honor for all His saints. Praise the LORD!
