| 1Hallelujah! Sing a new song to the LORD, praising him where the godly gather together. | 1Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly! |
| 2May Israel rejoice in its Maker, and Zion's descendants in their King! | 2Let Israel be glad in his Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King! |
| 3May they praise his name with dancing, chanting songs to him with tambourines and lyres. | 3Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre! |
| 4For the LORD is pleased with his people; he beautifies the afflicted with salvation. | 4For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation. |
| 5May those he loves be exalted, singing for joy on their couches. | 5Let the godly exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their beds. |
| 6Let high praises to God be heard in their throats, while they wield two-edged swords in their hands | 6Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands, |
| 7as they bring retribution to nations and punishment to peoples, | 7to execute vengeance on the nations and punishments on the peoples, |
| 8binding their kings with chains, their officials with iron bands, | 8to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron, |
| 9and executing the judgment written against them. This is honor for all the ones he loves. Hallelujah! | 9to execute on them the judgment written! This is honor for all his godly ones. Praise the LORD! |
