1 P raise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

2 L et Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 L et them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

4 F or the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 L et the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

6 L et the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 T o execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

8 T o bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 T o execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
