1 Praise the LORD. "Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King.3 Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp.4 For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.5 Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds.6 May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands,7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,8 to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron,9 to carry out the sentence written against them — this is the glory of all his faithful people. Praise 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!
