1Hallelujah. Sing to Yahweh a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints. 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 Yahweh takes pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. 5Let the saints 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; 7To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples; 8To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; 9To execute on them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Hallelujah.
