2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3Let them praise his name with the timbrel and psaltery; let them sing praises to him with the harps.

4For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he has given salvation to the poor.

5Let the righteous become mighty in glory; let them glorify him upon their beds.

6Let them exalt God with their throats, and with a two-edged sword in their hand,

7To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the peoples,

8To bind their kings with fetters and their nobles with chains of iron.

9To execute upon them the judgment that is written; and give glory to all his saints. Praise the LORD.
