Israel Invoked to Praise Jehovah


[1]	PRAISE 1 ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.
[2]	Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: 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 Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. 2
[5]	Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.
[6]	Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, 3 And a two-edged sword in their hand;
[7]	To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;
[8]	To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;
[9]	To execute upon them the judgment written: This 4 honor have all his saints. Praise 5 ye Jehovah.
