1Praise the Lord.[1] Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.2Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King.3Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp.4For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.5Let his faithful people rejoice in this honour and sing for joy on their beds.6May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands,7to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,8to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron,9to carry out the sentence written against them – this is the glory of all his faithful people. Praise the Lord.

Sing to the Lord a New Song
1Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly! (Ps 33:3; Ps 89:5; Ps 89:7; Ps 148:14)2Let Israel be glad in his Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King! (1Sa 12:12; Job 35:10; Ps 85:6; Ps 95:6; Zec 9:9)3Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre! (Ex 15:20; Ps 30:11; Ps 150:3; Ps 150:4)4For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation. (Ps 35:27; Ps 147:11; Isa 61:3)5Let the godly exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their beds. (Job 35:10; Ps 4:4; Ps 63:6; Ho 7:14)6Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands, (Ps 66:17; Pr 5:4; Heb 4:12; Re 1:16; Re 2:12)7to execute vengeance on the nations and punishments on the peoples,8to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron, (Job 36:8)9to execute on them the judgment written! This is honor for all his godly ones. Praise the Lord! (Job 13:26; Ps 148:14; Isa 65:6)
