									Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.
								
							 
																								
								2
								
									Let Israel rejoice in him who made them,  and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.
								
							 
																								
								3
								
									Let them praise his name in chorus.  Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.
								
							 
																								
								4
								
									For the Lord is well pleased with his people,  and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.
								
							 
																								
								5
								
									The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.
								
							 
																								
								6
								
									The exultations of God will be in their throat,  and two-edged swords will be in their hands:
								
							 
																								
								7
								
									to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,
								
							 
																								
								8
								
									to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,
								
							 
																								
								9
								
									to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written.  This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
