Sing to the Lord a New Song

¹Praise the Lord!

Sing to the Lord a new song,

his praise in the assembly of the godly!

²Let Israel be glad in his Maker;

let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!

³Let them praise his name with dancing,

making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!

⁴For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;

he adorns the humble with salvation.

⁵Let the godly exult in glory;

let them sing for joy on their beds.

⁶Let the high praises of God be in their throats

and two-edged swords in their hands,

⁷to execute vengeance on the nations

and punishments on the peoples,

⁸to bind their kings with chains

and their nobles with fetters of iron,

⁹to execute on them the judgment written!

This is honor for all his godly ones.

Praise the Lord!
