1 Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

2 Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

3 Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

4 For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

5 Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

7 To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

8 To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

9 To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.

1 Halleluja! Syng Herren en ny sang, hans pris i de frommes forsamling!

2 Israel glede sig i sin skaper, Sions barn fryde sig i sin konge!

3 De skal love hans navn med dans, lovsynge ham til pauke og citar.

4 For Herren har behag i sitt folk, han pryder de saktmodige med frelse.

5 De fromme skal fryde sig i herlighet, de skal juble på sitt leie.

6 Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,

7 for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,

8 for å binde deres konger med lenker og deres fornemme menn med jernbånd,

9 for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!
