1 Shout praises to the Lord!

Sing him a new song of praise

when his loyal people meet.

2 People of Israel, rejoice

because of your Creator.

People of Zion, celebrate

because of your King.

3 Praise his name by dancing

and playing music on harps

and tambourines.

4 The Lord is pleased

with his people,

and he gives victory

to those who are humble.

5 All of you faithful people,

praise our glorious Lord!

Celebrate and worship.

6 * Praise God with songs

on your lips

and a sword in your hand.

7 Take revenge and punish

the nations.

8 Put chains of iron

on their kings and rulers.

9 Punish them as they deserve;

this is the privilege

of God's faithful people.

Shout praises to the Lord!
