1 - Praise the Lord.
2 - Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
3 - Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp.
4 - For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
5 - Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds.
6 - May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7 - to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
8 - to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron,
9 - to carry out the sentence written against them - this is the glory of all his faithful people. Praise the Lord.
