[1] Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be
in the meeting of his saints. [2] Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the
children of Zion be glad in their King. [3] Let them give praise to his
name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass
and corded instruments of music. [4] For the Lord has pleasure in his
people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation. [5] Let the
saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds. [6]
Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in
their hands; [7] To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the
peoples their punishment; [8] To put their kings in chains, and their
rulers in bands of iron; [9] To give them the punishment which is in the
holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the
Lord.
