Salme 149

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

Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

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

Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

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

Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

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

For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

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

Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

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

Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

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

To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

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

To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

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

To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.
