Sing to the Lord a new song

(Psalm 98:1-9; Isaiah 42:10-17)
1
Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.
2
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.
3
Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing 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 shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.
6
The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:
7
To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:
8
To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.
9
To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to 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!
