1 Hallelujah!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the faithful.

2 Let Israel celebrate its Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

3 Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with tambourine and lyre.

4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.

5 Let the faithful celebrate in triumphal glory;
let them shout for joy on their beds.

6 Let the exaltation of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 inflicting vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,

8 binding their kings with chains
and their dignitaries with iron shackles,

9 carrying out the judgment decreed against them.
This honor is for all his faithful people.
Hallelujah!
