His praise is in the assembly of the merciful ones. 2. Rejoice let Israel in his Maker; Let the children of Zion exult in their king: 3. Let them praise his name on the pipe: On the timbrel and the harp let them sing psalms to him. 4. For taken pleasure hath Jehovah in his people: He will glorify the poor ones unto salvation. 5. Exult let the merciful ones in glory; Let them shout with joy on their couches. 6. The exaltations of God are in their mouth, And a sword of two edges in their hand; 7. To execute vengeance on the heathen, Chastisements on the nations: 8. To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron: 9. To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour is to all his merciful ones. Halleluiah. PSALM CL. ¶ Halleluiah. 1. Praise God in his sanctuary; Praise him in the firmament of his power. 2. Praise him in his might; Praise him for the multitude of his greatness: 3. Praise him with sound of trumpet; Praise him with nablum and harp. 4. Praise him with timbrel and pipe; Praise him with strings and organ. 5. Praise him with cymbals of sound; Praise him with cymbals of shouting. 6. Let every thing that breatheth praise God.
