Israel Invoked to Praise the Lord.
1Praise 2the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a Anew song,
And His praise Bin the congregation of the godly ones.
Let Israel be glad in Ahis Maker;
Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their BKing.
Let them praise His name with Adancing;
Let them sing praises to Him with Btimbrel and lyre.
For the Lord Atakes pleasure in His people;
He will Bbeautify the afflicted ones with salvation.
Let the Agodly ones exult in glory;
Let them Bsing for joy on their beds.
Let the Ahigh praises of God be in their 1mouth,
And a Btwo-edged Csword in their hand,
To Aexecute vengeance on the nations
And punishment on the peoples,
To bind their kings Awith chains
And their Bnobles with fetters of iron,
To Aexecute on them the judgment written;
This is an Bhonor for all His godly ones.
1Praise 2the Lord!
