1 Praise the Lord. Sing a new song to the Lord. Sing praise to him in the community of his faithful people.
2 Let Israel be filled with joy because God is their Maker. Let the people of Zion be glad because he is their King.
3 Let them praise his name with dancing. Let them make music to him with harps and tambourines.
4 The Lord takes delight in his people. He saves those who aren't proud. He makes them feel like kings.
5 Let his faithful people be filled with joy because of that honor. Let them sing with joy even when they are lying in bed.
6 May they praise God with their mouths. May they hold in their hands a sword that has two edges.
