1 Praise the LORD!

Sing to the LORD a new song,

his praise in the assembly of the holy ones.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them.

Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance!

Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people.

He crowns the humble with salvation [yeshu`ah].

5 Let the holy ones rejoice in honor.

Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths,

and a two-edged sword in their hand,

7 to execute vengeance on the nations,

and punishments on the peoples;

8 to bind their kings with chains,

and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 to execute on them the written judgment.

All his holy ones have this honor.

Praise the LORD!
