1 P raise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.

2 L et Israel be glad in his Maker; Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.

3 L et them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre.

4 F or the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation.

5 L et the godly ones exult in glory; Let them sing for joy on 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 on the nations And punishment on the peoples,

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

9 T o execute on them the judgment written; This is an honor for all His godly ones. Praise the Lord!
