| 1Hallelujah! Sing a new song to the LORD, praising him where the godly gather together. | 1Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song—His praise in the assembly of the godly. |
| 2May Israel rejoice in its Maker, and Zion's descendants in their King! | 2Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King. |
| 3May they praise his name with dancing, chanting songs to him with tambourines and lyres. | 3Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp. |
| 4For the LORD is pleased with his people; he beautifies the afflicted with salvation. | 4For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation. |
| 5May those he loves be exalted, singing for joy on their couches. | 5Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds. |
| 6Let high praises to God be heard in their throats, while they wield two-edged swords in their hands | 6May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands, |
| 7as they bring retribution to nations and punishment to peoples, | 7to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, |
| 8binding their kings with chains, their officials with iron bands, | 8to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron, |
| 9and executing the judgment written against them. This is honor for all the ones he loves. Hallelujah! | 9to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah! |
