1 Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.

Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

2 Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the people of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.

Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.

5 Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.

6 Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:

To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

8 To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.

to execute on them the written judgment. All his faithful ones have this honor. Praise the LORD.
