1PRAISE the LORD!
Sing to the LORD a new song,
His praise in the assembly of the saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
3 Let them praise His name with dancing;
and make music to Him with the tambourine and harp.
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;
He adorns the humble with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory;
let them sing for joy on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouths,
and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7 to execute vengeance on the nations,
and punishment on the peoples;
8 to bind their kings with chains,
and their nobles with shackles of iron;
9 to execute on them the judgment decreed.
This is the glory of all His saints.
Praise the LORD!
