Salme 149

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

Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; 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 psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

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

Let the godly 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

Let the high praises of God be 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 against the nations, [and] punishment among 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 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. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
