2 Let Israel rejoice in him that ^amade him: let the children of ^bZion be joyful in their ^cKing.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will ^abeautify the meek with salvation.

5 Let the saints be joyful in ^aglory: let them ^bsing aloud upon their ^cbeds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a ^atwoedged sword in their hand;

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
