Sing to the Lord a new song
(Psalm 98:1-9; Isaiah 42:10-17)
1
Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.
2
Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.
3
Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.
4
For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.
5
The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.
6
The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:
7
to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,
8
to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,
9
to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
