Israel Invoked to Praise the Lord .

1
Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
And praise Him in the congregation of His godly ones (believers).
2

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
Let Zion’s children rejoice in their King.(A)
3

Let them praise His name with dancing;
Let them sing praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre.
4

For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the humble with salvation.
5

Let the godly ones exult in glory;
Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6

Let the high praises of God be in their throats,
And a two-edged sword in their hands,(B)
7

To execute vengeance on the nations
And punishment on the peoples,
8

To bind their kings with chains
And their nobles with fetters of iron,
9

To execute on them the judgment written.
This is the honor for all His godly ones.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
