1 Hallelujah! Sing a new song to the LORD. Sing his praise in the assembly of godly people.

2 Let Israel find joy in their creator. Let the people of Zion rejoice over their king.

3 Let them praise his name with dancing. Let them make music to him with tambourines and lyres,

4 because the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns those who are oppressed with victory.

5 Let godly people triumph in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands

7 to take vengeance on the nations, to punish the people of the world,

8 to put their kings in chains and their leaders in iron shackles,

9 to carry out the judgment that is written against them. This is an honor that belongs to all his godly ones. Hallelujah!
