The Book of Psalms

Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people of Zion rejoice in their king.

Let them praise his name with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

to execute vengeance on the nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.

They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.

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!
