| 2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. | 2May Israel rejoice in its Maker, and Zion's descendants in their King! |
| 3Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. | 3May they praise his name with dancing, chanting songs to him with tambourines and lyres. |
| 4For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. | 4For the LORD is pleased with his people; he beautifies the afflicted with salvation. |
| 5Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. | 5May those he loves be exalted, singing for joy on their couches. |
| 6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; | 6Let high praises to God be heard in their throats, while they wield two-edged swords in their hands |
| 7To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; | 7as they bring retribution to nations and punishment to peoples, |
| 8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; | 8binding their kings with chains, their officials with iron bands, |
| 9To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD. | 9and executing the judgment written against them. This is honor for all the ones he loves. Hallelujah! |
