Sing to the Lord a new song

(Psalm 98:1-9; Isaiah 42:10-17)

Praise Yahweh! Sing a new song to Yahweh; praise him whenever his faithful people gather together!

You Israelite people, be glad because of what God, who created you, has done for you! You people of Jerusalem, rejoice because of what God, your king, has done for you!

Praise Yahweh by dancing, by beating tambourines, and by playing harps to praise him!

Yahweh is pleased with his people; he honors humble people by helping them to defeat their enemies.

Because they have won battles, God’s people should rejoice and sing joyfully all during the night!

They should shout loudly to praise God; but they should also hold sharp swords in their hands,

ready to use them to defeat the soldiers of nations that do not worship God and to punish the people of those nations.

They will fasten their kings and other leaders with iron chains.

They will judge and punish the people of those nations as God wrote should be done. Everyone else will honor God’s faithful people for doing that! Praise Yahweh!

Sing to the Lord a new song

(Psalm 98:1-9; Isaiah 42:10-17)

Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise the LORD!
