Israel Invoked to Praise the LORD.

1 Praise the LORD!
         Sing to the LORD a new song,
         And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.
2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
         Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.
3 Let them praise His name with dancing;
         Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre.
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;
         He will beautify the afflicted ones 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 mouth,
         And a two-edged sword in their hand,
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 an honor for all His godly ones.
         Praise the LORD!
