2Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult in their King.
3Let them praise his name in the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.
4For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.
5Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.
6The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;
7To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:
8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron:
