1 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise Him in the meeting of His people.
2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker. Let the sons of Zion be full of joy in their King.
3 Let them praise His name with dancing. Let them sing praises to Him with timbrels and a harp.
4 For the Lord is happy with His people. He saves those who have no pride and makes them beautiful.
5 Let those who are God-like be full of joy and honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and in their hand a sword that cuts both ways.
7 Let it be used to punish the nations and the people.
8 Let their kings be tied in chains, and their rulers with ropes of iron.
9 Let the punishment that is written be given to them. This is an honor for all His faithful ones. Praise the Lord!
