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

Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.

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

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

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

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

Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,

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

To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:

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

To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,

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

That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.
