Salme 149

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

Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

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

Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

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

They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

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

For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

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

Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

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

The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

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

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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

To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

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

To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
