1 Hallelujah!Sing to the Lord a new song,his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
2 Let Israel be glad in its maker,the people of Zion rejoice in their king.
3 Let them praise his name in dance,make music with tambourine and lyre.
4 For the Lord takes delight in his people,honors the poor with victory.
5 Let the faithful rejoice in their glory,cry out for joy on their couches,
6 With the praise of God in their mouths,and a two-edged sword in their hands,
7 To bring retribution on the nations,punishment on the peoples,
