Shout your Hallelujah!
It’s time to sing
A brand new song to Yahweh.
It’s time to get the God-lovers together
To sing his praise.
Israel, let loose and enjoy your Maker.
Zion, simply enjoy your King.
Move your bodies,
Dancing your praise.
Play your piano and guitar,
Singing your praise.
Yahweh is delighted,
Thrilled with his people.
He hangs salvation around their humble necks
Like a costly necklace.
God-lovers, soak in his glory.
Wake up in the middle of the night
With a joyful song on your lips.
Go wild with praise,
With shouts to God!
But keep your sword close by,
Ready to inflict revenge on godless nations,
To punish rebel peoples,
To toss their kings in prison,
To throw their leaders in the dungeon,
To see them pay for their crimes.
But God himself,
He is the glory,
The honor of all God-loving people.
So, shout your Hallelujah!
