| 1 ¶ Praise1 ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
|
|
| 2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
|
|
| 3 Let them praise his name in2 the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
|
|
| 4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
|
|
| 5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
|
|
| 6 ¶ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,3 and a twoedged sword in their hand;
|
|
| 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
|
|
| 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
|
|
| 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
