Salme 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children 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 the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

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

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

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

Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

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

The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

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

To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:

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 [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.
