Psalms

1Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

4For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

5Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

7To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

1ngợi khen Người trong cộng đoàn những kẻ hiếu trung !

2vì được Chúa làm Vua hiển trị.

3nhịp trống hoạ đàn theo khúc hoan ca.

4ban cho kẻ nghèo hèn được vẻ vang chiến thắng.

5nào phủ phục mà cất tiếng reo hò,

6thanh gươm hai lưỡi, cầm chắc trong tay.

7Để trả thù muôn nước và trừng trị chư dân,

8để xiềng chân vua chúa và xích cổ vương hầu,

9Ha-lê-lui-a !
