Salme 149

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

Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be 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 that made him: and let the children of Sion 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 choir: let them sing 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 shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

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

The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

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

To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

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.

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 that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
