1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
[Let] the high [praises] of God [be] in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;
To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [and] punishments upon the people;
8 to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints.
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9
To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
