1Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; sing his praise in the congregation of the godly.

2Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

3Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

4For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

5Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7To execute vengeance against the nations, and punishment among the peoples;

8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
