1. PRAISE THE Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, praise Him in the assembly of His saints!
2. Let Israel rejoice in Him, their Maker; let Zion's children triumph and be joyful in their King! [Zech. 9:9; Matt. 21:5.]
3. Let them praise His name in chorus and choir and with the [single or group] dance; let them sing praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre!
4. For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation and adorn the wretched with victory.
5. Let the saints be joyful in the glory and beauty [which God confers upon them]; let them sing for joy upon their beds.
6. Let the high praises of God be in their throats and a two-edged sword in their hands, [Heb. 4:12; Rev. 1:16.]
7. To wreak vengeance upon the nations and chastisement upon the peoples,
8. To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,
