A new song

Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, and sing his praise among the faithful. Let Israel rejoice in the one who made him; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing praises to him with the tambourine and harp. The LORD takes pleasure in his people; he will beautify the humble with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the people; to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles; to execute on them the judgment written. This honour belongs to all his saints. Praise the LORD.

Praise the Lord. Sing the Lord a new song, and his praise in the gathering of the faithful. Let Israel be glad in the one who made him. Let the children of Zion celebrate in their King. Let them praise his name with dancing. Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp. Because the Lord takes pleasure in his people. He'll make the humble beautiful with salvation. Let the faithful be glad in glory. Let them sing out loud on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand — to settle up with the nations and pull up the peoples, to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with irons, to carry out on them the judgment that's written. This is the honour all his faithful ones have. Praise the Lord.

Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
