Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

3 Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

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

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

8 to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

9 to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
