Salme 149

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

Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people of Zion rejoice in their king.

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

Let them praise his name with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

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

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

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

Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hand

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

to execute vengeance on the nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.

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

They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

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

They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
