¹Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song. Praise him in the assembly of the godly. ²Let Israel rejoice in their Creator. Let the people of Zion delight in their King.³Let them praise his name with dancing. Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp. ⁴For the Lord takes delight in his people; he exalts the oppressed by delivering them.⁵Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication. Let them shout for joy upon their beds. ⁶May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hands, ⁷in order to take revenge on the nations and punish foreigners. ⁸The godly bind their enemies’ kings in chains and their nobles in iron shackles, ⁹and execute the judgment to which their enemies have been sentenced. All his loyal followers will be vindicated. Praise the Lord.
