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 throatsand 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 chainsand 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!
