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 holy ones 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;
