Israel Invoked to Praise the Lord.
1 Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And praise Him in the congregation of His godly ones (believers).
2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let Zion’s children rejoice in their King. [Zech 9:9; Matt 21:5]
3 Let them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.
5 Let the godly ones exult in glory; Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats, And a two-edged sword in their hands, [Heb 4:12; Rev 1:16]
7 To execute vengeance on the nations And punishment on the peoples,
8 To bind their kings with chains And their nobles with fetters of iron,
9 To execute on them the judgment written. This is the honor for all His godly ones. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
