1 Hallelujah!

Sing a new song to the Lord.

Sing his praise in the assembly of godly people.

2 Let Israel find joy in their creator.

Let the people of Zion rejoice over their king.

3 Let them praise his name with dancing.

Let them make music to him with tambourines and lyres,

4 because the Lord takes pleasure in his people.

He crowns those who are oppressed with victory.

5 Let godly people triumph in glory.

Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats

and two-edged swords in their hands

7 to take vengeance on the nations,

to punish the people of the world,

8 to put their kings in chains

and their leaders in iron shackles,

9 to carry out the judgment that is written against them.

This is an honor that belongs to all his godly ones.

Hallelujah!
