Sing to the LORD a New Song 
 
(Psalms 98:1–9; Isaiah 42:10–17)  
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!
