1 Hallelujah!
Sing to the LORD a new song—
his praise in the assembly of the godly.
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 tambourine and harp.
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the afflicted with victory.
5 Let the godly ones exult in glory;
let them shout for joy upon their beds.
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths,
and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7 to inflict 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 the judgment written against them.
This honor is for all his godly ones.
Hallelujah!
