{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
Sing unto Jehovah a new song,
And his praise in the assembly of the saints.
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him:
Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Let them praise his name in the dance:
Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.
For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people:
He will beautify the meek with {Or, victory}salvation.
Let the saints exult in glory:
Let them sing for joy upon their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their {Hebrew: throat}mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand;
To execute vengeance upon the nations,
And punishments upon the peoples;
To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
To execute upon them the judgment written:
{Or, He is the honor of all his saints}This honor have all his saints.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
