1 Praise the Lord.Sing to the Lord a new song,his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.
2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
3 Let them praise his name with dancingand make music to him with tambourine and harp.
4 For the Lord takes delight in his people;he crowns the humble with victory.
5 Let his faithful people rejoice in this honourand sing for joy on their beds.
6 May the praise of God be in their mouthsand a double-edged sword in their hands,
7 to inflict vengeance on the nationsand punishment on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with fetters,their nobles with shackles of iron,
9 to carry out the sentence written against them –this is the glory of all his faithful people.Praise the Lord.
