^1. PRAISE [1] the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.

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

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

^4. For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation.

^5. Let the godly ones exult in glory; Let them sing for joy on their beds.

^6. Let the high praises of God be in their [2] mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,

^7. To execute vengeance on the nations And punishment on the peoples,

^8. To bind their kings with chains And their nobles with fetters of iron,

^9. To execute on them the judgment written; This is an honor for all His godly ones. [4] Praise [3] the LORD!
