Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

Let the high praises of ·God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;

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. Hallelujah!
