Hallelujah! Sing to the a new song; * sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful.

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; * let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his Name in the dance; * let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.

For the takes pleasure in his people * and adorns the poor with victory.

Let the faithful rejoice in triumph; * let them be joyful on their beds.

Let the praises of God be in their throat * and a two&#8209;edged sword in their hand;

To wreak vengeance on the nations * and punishment on the peoples;

To bind their kings in chains * and their nobles with links of iron;

To inflict on them the judgment decreed; * this is glory for all his faithful people. Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy temple; * praise him in the firmament of his power.
