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.

3 Louvem o Senhor pelo grande nome que tem; façam-no com danças, harpas e tambores.

4 Porque o Senhor se alegra com o seu povo. Ele recompensará os humildes, dando-lhes salvação.

6 Que as suas vozes se façam ouvir louvando Deus, tendo nas suas mãos a espada de dois gumes, com a qual julgarão as nações, e castigarão os povos; com a qual farão prisioneiros os governantes, amarrando-os com correntes de ferro, a eles e aos que colaboram com eles na governação dos países!

9 É assim que executará a sua sentença. Esta honra tê-la-ão os que lhe pertencem! Louvem o Senhor!
