*Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song! Praise him in the assembly of the godly! *Let Israel rejoice in their Creator! Let the people of Zion delight in their king! *Let them praise his name with dancing! Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp!*For the Lord takes delight in his people; he exalts the oppressed by delivering them. *Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication! Let them shout for joy upon their beds! *May they praise God while they hold a two-edged sword in their hand, *in order to take revenge on the nations, and punish foreigners.*They bind their kings in chains, and their nobles in iron shackles,*and execute the judgment to which their enemies have been sentenced. All his loyal followers will be vindicated. Praise the Lord!
