Sing ye unto the Lord our God
a new rejoicing song,
And let the praise of him be heard
his holy saints among.
Let Israel rejoice in God,
and praises to him sing
And let the seed of Zion be
most joyful in their King:
Let them sound praise with voice of lute
unto his holy Name,
And with the timbrel and the harp
sing praises to the same.
For why? the Lord his pleasure all
hath in his people set,
And by deliv'rance he will raise
the meek to glory great.
With glory and with honor now
let all his saints rejoice;
Aloud upon their beds also
advance their singing voice.
And in their mouths let be the high
praises of God the Lord,
And in their hands likewise a sharp
and a two-edged sword,
To plague the heathen, and correct
the people with their hands;
To bind their stately kings in chains,
their lords in iron bands:
To execute on them the doom
that written was before:
This honor all his saints shall have;
Praise ye the Lord therefore.
