Praise ye the LORD
. Sing
unto the LORD
a new
song
, and his praise
in the congregation
of saints
.
Let Israel rejoice
in him that made
him: let the children
of Zion
be joyful
in their King
.
Let them praise his name
in the dance
: let them sing praises
unto him with the timbrel
and harp
.
For the LORD taketh pleasure
in his people
: he will beautify
the meek
with salvation
.
Let the saints be joyful
in glory
: let them sing aloud
upon their beds
.
Let the high praises of God
be in their mouth
, and a twoedged
sword
in their hand
;
To execute vengeance
upon the heathen
, and punishments
upon the people
;
To bind their kings
with chains
, and their nobles
with fetters
of iron
;
To execute upon them the judgment
written
: this honour
have all his saints
. Praise
ye the LORD
.
