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

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;

9

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