1 Praise the Lord!Sing to the Lord a new song;sing God’s praise in the assembly of the faithful!
2 Let Israel celebrate its maker;let Zion’s children rejoice in their king!
3 Let them praise God’s name with dance;let them sing God’s praise with the drum and lyre!
4 Because the Lord is pleased with his people,God will beautify the poor with saving help.
5 Let the faithful celebrate with glory;let them shout for joy on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouthsand a double-edged sword in their hands,
