A New Song of Praise
1 Shout praises to the Lord!
Sing him a new song of praise
when his loyal people meet.
2 People of Israel, rejoice
because of your Creator.
People of Zion, celebrate
because of your King.
3 Praise his name by dancing
and playing music on harps
and tambourines.
4 The Lord is pleased
with his people,
and he gives victory
to those who are humble.
5 All of you faithful people,
praise our glorious Lord!
Celebrate and worship.
6 Praise God with songs
on your lips
and a sword in your hand.
7 Take revenge and punish
the nations.
8 Put chains of iron
on their kings and rulers.
9 Punish them as they deserve;
this is the privilege
of God's faithful people.
Shout praises to the Lord!
1 Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints. 2 Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King. 3 Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe. 4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance. 5 Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes. 6 Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands, 7 To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people: 8 To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron, 9 That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.
