Sing to the Lord a new song

(Psalm 98:1-9; Isaiah 42:10-17)
1
Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.
2
Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.
3
Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.
4
For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.
5
The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.
6
The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:
7
to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,
8
to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,
9
to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.

Sing to the Lord a new song

(Psalm 98:1-9; Isaiah 42:10-17)
1
Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.
2
Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3
Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!
4
For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.
5
Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6
May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,
7
to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
8
to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9
to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise the LORD!
