Psalms

¹ Hallelujah! ^[a]

Sing to the LORD a new song—

His praise in the assembly of the godly.

² Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;

let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

³ Let them praise His name with dancing,

and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

⁴ For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;

He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

⁵ Let the saints exult in glory;

let them shout for joy upon their beds.

⁶ May the high praises of God be in their mouths,

and a double-edged sword in their hands,

⁷ to inflict vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples,

⁸ to bind their kings with chains

and their nobles with shackles of iron,

⁹ to execute the judgment written against them.

This honor is for all His saints.

Hallelujah!
