New King James Version | International Standard Version |
1Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints. | 1Hallelujah! Sing a new song to the LORD, praising him where the godly gather together. |
2Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; 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 with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp. | 3May they praise his name with dancing, chanting songs to him with tambourines and lyres. |
4For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble 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 on 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 two-edged 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 on the nations, And punishments on the peoples; | 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 on them the written judgment— This honor have all His saints. Praise the LORD! | 9and executing the judgment written against them. This is honor for all the ones he loves. Hallelujah! |
