Salme 149

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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult 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 sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.

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

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

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

The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on 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 shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

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

to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments amongst the peoples;

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

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgement written: this honour have all his saints.

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