1 Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly! 2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their king! 3 Let them praise his name in the dance; Let them praise him with the timbrel and harp! 4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation. 5 Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds! 6 Let the praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand, 7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishment upon the peoples! 8 To bind their kings with chains. And their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
