1 Hallelujah! Sing a new song to the LORD, his praise in the congregation of the faithful.
2 May Israel rejoice in the one who made him; may the sons of Zion delight in their King.
3 May they praise his name with dance, making music to him with drum and lyre.
4 For the LORD is pleased with his people; he beautifies the humble with salvation.
5 May the faithful exult in glory; may they shout for joy upon their beds.
6 May the exaltations of God be in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 to carry out vengeance on the nations, punishments on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings in chains and their nobles in iron shackles,
9 to carry out against them the judgment that is written. This is the honor of all his faithful ones. Hallelujah!
