The Book of Psalms

Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise the LORD!
