1Praise ye the Lord.
Sing unto the Lord a new song,
And his praise in the congregation of saints.

2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him:
Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3Let them praise his name in the dance:
Let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

4For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people:
He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5Let the saints be joyful in glory:
Let them sing aloud upon their beds.

6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a twoedged sword in their hand;

7To execute vengeance upon the heathen,
And punishments upon the people;

8To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;

9To execute upon them the judgment written:
This honour have all his saints.
Praise ye the Lord.
