1. Praise the Lord!Sing to the Lord a new song;sing God’s praise in the assembly of the faithful!
2. Let Israel celebrate its maker;let Zion’s children rejoice in their king!
3. Let them praise God’s name with dance;let them sing God’s praise with the drum and lyre!
4. Because the Lord is pleased with his people,God will beautify the poor with saving help.
5. Let the faithful celebrate with glory;let them shout for joy on their beds.
6. Let the high praises of God be in their mouthsand a double-edged sword in their hands,
7. to get revenge against the nationsand punishment on the peoples,
8. binding their rulers in chainsand their officials in iron shackles,
9. achieving the justicewritten against them.That will be an honor for all God’s faithful people.Praise the Lord!
