1 Praise the Lord!

Sing to the Lord a new song,

his praise in the assembly of the faithful!

2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker,

let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King!

3 Let them praise his name with dancing,

making melody to him with timbrel and lyre!

4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;

he adorns the humble with victory.

5 Let the faithful exult in glory;

let them sing for joy on their couches.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats

and two-edged swords in their hands,
