< Salme 149 >
1 Synger Herren en ny Sang, hans Lovsang i de helliges Menighed!
Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.
2 Israel glæde sig over sin Skaber, Zions Børn fryde sig over deres Konge!
Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 De skulle love hans Navn med Dans, de skulle lovsynge ham til Tromme og Harpe.
Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.
4 Thi Herren har Behagelighed til sit Folk, han pryder de sagtmodige med Frelse.
For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 De hellige skulle glæde sig i Herlighed, de skulle synge med Fryd paa deres Leje.
Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.
6 De skulle ophøje Gud med deres Strube, og der skal være et tveægget Sværd i deres Haand
The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand
7 for at øve Hævn paa Hedningerne og Straf paa Folkeslægterne;
to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,
8 for at binde deres Konger med Lænker og deres Hædersmænd med Jernbolte;
to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,
9 for at fuldbyrde paa dem den Dom, som staar skreven! Det er Æren for alle hans hellige. Halleluja!
to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
