1Praise ye the Lord: unto him sing
a new song, and his praise
In
the assembly of his saints
in sweet psalms do ye raise.
|
|
2Let Isr'el in his Maker joy,
and to him praises sing:
Let
all that Sion's children are
be joyful in their King.
|
|
3O let them unto his great name
give praises in the dance;
Let
them with timbrel and with harp
in songs his praise advance.
|
|
4For God doth pleasure take in those
that his own people be;
And
he with his salvation
the meek will beautify.
|
|
5And in his glory excellent
let all his saints rejoice:
Let
them to him upon their beds
aloud lift up their voice.
|
|
6Let in their mouth aloft be rais'd
the high praise of the Lord,
And
let them have in their right hand
a sharp two-edged sword;
|
|
7To execute the vengeance due
upon the heathen all,
And
make deserved punishment
upon the people fall.
|
|
8And ev'n with chains, as pris'ners, bind
their kings that them command;
Yea,
and with iron fetters strong,
the nobles of their land.
|
|
9On them the judgment to perform
found written in his word:
This
honour is to all his saints.
O do ye praise the Lord.
