[¶0] Hallelujah

[¶1] 1 Sing ye to Jehovah a song that is new: His praise is in the assembly of the merciful ones.

[¶2] 2 Rejoice let Israel in his Maker; Let the children of Zion exult in their king:

[¶3] 3 Let them praise his name on the pipe: On the timbrel and the harp let them sing psalms to him.

[¶4] 4 For taken pleasure hath Jehovah in his people: He will glorify the poor ones unto salvation.

[¶5] 5 Exult let the merciful ones in glory; Let them shout with joy on their couches.

[¶6] 6 The exaltations of God are in their mouth, And a sword of two edges in their hand;

[¶7] 7 To execute vengeance on the heathen, Chastisements on the nations:

[¶8] 8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron:

[¶9] 9 To execute upon them the judgment written. This honor is to all his merciful ones. Hallelujah.

### Psalm 150

[¶11] Hallelujah

[¶12] 1 Praise God in his sanctuary; Praise him in the firmament of his power.

[¶13] 2 Praise him in his might; Praise him for the multitude of his greatness:

[¶14] 3 Praise him with sound of trumpet; Praise him with nablum and harp.

[¶15] 4 Praise him with timbrel and pipe; Praise him with strings and organ.

[¶16] 5 Praise him with cymbals of sound; Praise him with cymbals of shouting.

[¶17] 6 Let every thing that breatheth praise God. Hallelujah.
