1 Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their king!
3 Let them praise his name in the dance; Let them praise him with the timbrel and harp!
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.
5 Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!
6 Let the praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishment upon the peoples!
8 To bind their kings with chains. And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
