| 1Hallelujah! Sing a new song to the LORD, praising him where the godly gather together. | 1Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones. |
| 2May Israel rejoice in its Maker, and Zion's descendants in their King! | 2Let Israel be glad in his Maker; Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King. |
| 3May they praise his name with dancing, chanting songs to him with tambourines and lyres. | 3Let them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre. |
| 4For the LORD is pleased with his people; he beautifies the afflicted with salvation. | 4For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation. |
| 5May those he loves be exalted, singing for joy on their couches. | 5Let the godly ones exult in glory; Let them sing for joy on their beds. |
| 6Let high praises to God be heard in their throats, while they wield two-edged swords in their hands | 6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand, |
| 7as they bring retribution to nations and punishment to peoples, | 7To execute vengeance on the nations And punishment on the peoples, |
| 8binding their kings with chains, their officials with iron bands, | 8To bind their kings with chains And their nobles with fetters of iron, |
| 9and executing the judgment written against them. This is honor for all the ones he loves. Hallelujah! | 9To execute on them the judgment written; This is an honor for all His godly ones. Praise the LORD! |
