• Yahweh Takes Pleasure in His People

  • 1 Praise Yah! Sing to Yahweh a new song, His praise in the assembly of the holy ones.
  • 2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker; Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.
  • 3 Let them praise His name with dancing; With tambourine and lyre let them sing praises to Him.
  • 4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation.
  • 5 Let the holy ones exult in glory; Let them sing for joy on their beds.
  • 6 Let the exaltations of God be in their throats, 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 honored men with fetters of iron,
  • 9 To execute on them the judgment written; This is the majesty of all His holy ones. Praise Yah!
