¹ Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song! Praise him in the assembly of the godly! ² Let Israel rejoice in their Creator! Let the people of Zion delight in their king! ³ Let them praise his name with dancing! Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp! ⁴ For the LORD takes delight in his people; he exalts the oppressed by delivering them. ⁵ Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication! Let them shout for joy upon their beds! ⁶ May they praise God while they hold a two-edged sword in their hand, ⁷ in order to take revenge on the nations, and punish foreigners. ⁸ They bind their kings in chains, and their nobles in iron shackles, ⁹ and execute the judgment to which their enemies have been sentenced. All his loyal followers will be vindicated. Praise the LORD!
