1 PRAISE ye the Lord: unto him sing a new song, and his praise In the assembly of his saints in sweet psalms do ye raise. 2 Let Isr'el in his Maker joy,

and to him praises sing: Let all that Sion's children are be joyful in their King.

3 O let them unto his great name give praises in the dance;

Let them with timbrel and with harp in songs his praise advance.

4 For God doth pleasure take in those that his own people be; And he with his salvation the meek will beautify.

5 And in his glory excellent let all his saints rejoice:

Let them to him upon their beds aloud lift up their voice.

6 Let 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;

7 To execute the vengeance due

upon the heathen all,

And make deserved punishment upon the people fall.

8 And ev❜n with chains, as pris'ners, bind
their kings that them command;
Yea, and with iron fetters strong,
the nobles of their land.

9 On them the judgment to perform
found written in his word:
This honour is to all his saints.
O do ye praise the Lord.
