## Yahweh Takes Pleasure in His People 

###### 1
Praise Yah! Sing to Yahweh a new song, His praise in the assembly of the holy ones. 

###### 2
Let Israel be glad in his Maker; Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King. 

###### 3
Let them praise His name with dancing; With tambourine and lyre let them sing praises to Him. 

###### 4
For Yahweh takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation. 

###### 5
Let the holy ones exult in glory; Let them sing for joy on their beds. 

###### 6
_Let_ the exaltations of God _be_ in their throats, And a two-edged sword in their hand, 

###### 7
To execute vengeance on the nations And punishments on the peoples, 

###### 8
To bind their kings with chains And their honored men with fetters of iron, 

###### 9
To execute on them the judgment written; This is the majesty of all His holy ones. Praise Yah!
