[1] Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.
[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!

[6] May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

[9] to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!
