1 Hallelujah. Sing to Yahweh a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him: Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.3 Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.5 Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy on their beds.6 [Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;7 To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples;8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;9 To execute on them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Hallelujah.
