1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.
Praise ye YHWH. Sing unto YHWH a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and psaltery.

4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
For YHWH taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
Let the high praises of El be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;
To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye YHWH.
