- 2Let Israel be happy with their Maker. Let the people of Zion rejoice with their King.
- 3Let them praise him by dancing and playing their tambourines and harps.
- 4The LORD is happy with his people. He did a wonderful thing for his humble people. He saved them!
- 5Let his followers rejoice in this victory! Let them sing for joy, even in their beds!
- 6Let the people shout praise to God. And with a sharp sword in their hand,
- 7let them take revenge on the other nations. Let them go punish those people.
- 8They will put their kings in chains and their leaders in chains of iron.
- 9They will punish those nations as God commanded. This is an honor for all his followers. Praise the LORD!
