Salme 149

1 Synger Herren en ny Sang, hans Lovsang i de helliges Menighed!

Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

2 Israel glæde sig over sin Skaber, Zions Børn fryde sig over deres Konge!

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

3 De skulle love hans Navn med Dans, de skulle lovsynge ham til Tromme og Harpe.

Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

4 Thi Herren har Behagelighed til sit Folk, han pryder de sagtmodige med Frelse.

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

5 De hellige skulle glæde sig i Herlighed, de skulle synge med Fryd paa deres Leje.

Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

6 De skulle ophøje Gud med deres Strube, og der skal være et tveægget Sværd i deres Haand

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 for at øve Hævn paa Hedningerne og Straf paa Folkeslægterne;

to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 for at binde deres Konger med Lænker og deres Hædersmænd med Jernbolte;

to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

9 for at fuldbyrde paa dem den Dom, som staar skreven! Det er Æren for alle hans hellige. Halleluja!

to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
