1 Praise Hashem.
Shiru l'Adonoi shir chadash (Sing unto Hashem a new song),
and His praise in the Kahal Chasidim.
2 Let Yisroel rejoice in Him that made him;
let the Bnei Tziyon be glad in their Melech.
3 Let them praise Shmo in the dance;
let them sing zemirot unto Him with the tambourine and kinnor.
4 For Hashem taketh pleasure in His people;
He will crown the meek with Yeshu'ah (salvation).
5 Let the Chasidim be joyful in kavod;
let them sing for joy upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of G-d be in their mouth,
and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the Goyim,
and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their melachim with chains,
and their nobles with shackles of barzel (iron);
9 To execute upon them the mishpat katuv (written judgment);
this honor have all His Chasidim.
Hallelu Hashem.
