Salme 149

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

Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the assembly 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: let the children 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 praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

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

Let the saints exult in glory: let them sing 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 upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples;

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

To bind their king’s 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. Praise ye the LORD.
