| 1Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song. Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful. | 1Hallelujah! Sing a new song to the LORD, praising him where the godly gather together. |
| 2O Israel, rejoice in your Maker. O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King. | 2May Israel rejoice in its Maker, and Zion's descendants in their King! |
| 3Praise his name with dancing, accompanied by tambourine and harp. | 3May they praise his name with dancing, chanting songs to him with tambourines and lyres. |
| 4For the LORD delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. | 4For the LORD is pleased with his people; he beautifies the afflicted with salvation. |
| 5Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them. Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds. | 5May those he loves be exalted, singing for joy on their couches. |
| 6Let the praises of God be in their mouths, and a sharp sword in their hands— | 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 punishment on the peoples, | 7as they bring retribution to nations and punishment to peoples, |
| 8to bind their kings with shackles and their leaders with iron chains, | 8binding their kings with chains, their officials with iron bands, |
| 9to execute the judgment written against them. This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones. Praise the LORD! | 9and executing the judgment written against them. This is honor for all the ones he loves. Hallelujah! |
