| Hallelujah!
Sing to the LORD a new song; *
sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful.
|
| 2
| Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; *
let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
|
| 3
| Let them praise his Name in the dance; *
let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.
|
| 4
| For the LORD takes pleasure in his people
*
and adorns the poor with victory.
|
| 5
| Let the faithful rejoice in triumph; *
let them be joyful on their beds.
|
| 6
| Let the praises of God be in their throat
*
and a two-edged sword in their hand;
|
| 7
| To wreak vengeance on the nations *
and punishment on the peoples;
|
| 8
| To bind their kings in chains *
and their nobles with links of iron;
|
| 9
| To inflict on them the judgment decreed;
*
this is glory for all his faithful people.
Hallelujah!
