Praise the LORD

Praise the LORD.
Sing to the LORD a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the saints.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion
be glad in their King.

Let them praise his name
with dancing
and make music to him
with tambourine and harp.

For the LORD takes delight
in his people;
he crowns the humble
with salvation.

Let the saints rejoice in this honour
and sing for joy on their beds.

May the praise of God
be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword
in their hands,

to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,

to bind their kings with fetters,
their nobles with shackles of iron,

to carry out the sentence
written against them.
This the glory of all his saints.
Praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD.

Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him
in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him
for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding
of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp
and lyre,

praise him with tambourine
and dancing,
praise him with the strings
and flute,

praise him with the clash
of cymbals,
praise him with resounding
cymbals.

Let everything that has breath
praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD.

(PSALM 149-150)
