The Book of Psalms

Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the congregation of saints.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.

Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds.

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,

To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples;

To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;

To execute on them the written judgment--This honor have all His saints. Praise the LORD!
