2 Let Israel rejoice in their Creator!Let the people of Zion delight in their king!
3 Let them praise his name with dancing!Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp!
4 For the Lord takes delight in his people;he exalts the oppressed by delivering them.
5 Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication!Let them shout for joy upon their beds!
6 May they praise Godwhile they hold a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 in order to take revenge on the nations,and punish foreigners.
8 They bind their kings in chains,and their nobles in iron shackles,
