1. Hallelujah!Sing a new song to the Lord.Sing his praise in the assembly of godly people.
2. Let Israel find joy in their creator.Let the people of Zion rejoice over their king.
3. Let them praise his name with dancing.Let them make music to him with tambourines and lyres,
4. because the Lord takes pleasure in his people.He crowns those who are oppressed with victory.
5. Let godly people triumph in glory.Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6. Let the high praises of God be in their throatsand two-edged swords in their hands
7. to take vengeance on the nations,to punish the people of the world,
8. to put their kings in chainsand their leaders in iron shackles,
9. to carry out the judgment that is written against them.This is an honor that belongs to all his godly ones.Hallelujah!
