Salme 149

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

Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the holy ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. 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 to him with tambourine and harp!

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

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation [yeshu`ah].

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

Let the holy ones rejoice in honor. 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 high 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 punishments on the peoples;

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 on them the written judgment. All his holy ones have this honor. Praise the LORD!
