1. Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; sing his praise in the congregation of the godly.
2. Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.
3. Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.
4. For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.
5. Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
6. Let the high praises of ·God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:
7. To execute vengeance against the nations, and punishment among the peoples;
8. To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9. To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
