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 Church of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion 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 chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

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

The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

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

The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

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

to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

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

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

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

to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
