#Lev. 10:3; Eph. 2:17Sing to the Lord a new song,
And His praise in the assembly of saints.

Let the children of Zion be joyful in their #Ps. 33:3King.
3#Judg. 8:23; Zech. 9:9; Matt. 21:5Let them praise His name with the dance;
Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
4For #Ex. 15:20; Ps. 81:2the Lord takes pleasure in His people;
#Ps. 35:27He will beautify the humble with salvation.
5Let the saints be joyful in glory;
Let them #Ps. 132:16; Is. 61:3sing aloud on their beds.
6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And #Job 35:10a two-edged sword in their hand,
7To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
8To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9#Heb. 4:12; Rev. 1:16To execute on them the written judgment—
#Deut. 7:1, 2; Ezek. 28:26This honor have all His saints.
Praise the Lord!

A Hymn of Praise
1Praise the LORD!
Sing a new song to the LORD;
praise him in the assembly of his faithful people!
2Be glad, Israel, because of your Creator;
rejoice, people of Zion, because of your king!
3Praise his name with dancing;
play drums and harps in praise of him.
4The LORD takes pleasure in his people;
he honours the humble with victory.
5Let God's people rejoice in their triumph
and sing joyfully all night long.
6Let them shout aloud as they praise God,
with their sharp swords in their hands
7to defeat the nations
and to punish the peoples;
8to bind their kings in chains,
their leaders in chains of iron;
9to punish the nations as God has commanded.
This is the victory of God's people.
Praise the LORD!
