Cantate Domino

1  Praise the Lord. O sing unto the Lord a new song; *
let the congregation of the faithful praise him.

2  Let Israel rejoice in the one who made him, *
and let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3  Let them praise his Name in the dance; *
let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.
4  For the Lord has pleasure in his people *
and gives victory to those who are oppressed.
5  Let the faithful be joyful with glory; *
let them rejoice upon their beds.
6  Let the praises of God be in their mouth *
and a two-edged sword in their hands,
7  To inflict vengeance on the nations, *
and to rebuke the peoples,
8  To bind their kings in chains, *
and their nobles with links of iron,
9  That they may execute judgment upon them, as it is written; *
this is the honor of all his servants. Praise the Lord.
