Salme 149

1 Halleluja! Syng HERREN en ny Sang, hans Pris i de frommes Forsamling!

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 de skal prise hans Navn under Dans, lovsynge ham med Pauke og Citer;

Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

4 thi HERREN har Behag i sit Folk, han smykker de ydmyge med Frelse.

For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 De fromme skal juble med Ære, synge paa deres Lejer med Fryd,

Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6 med Lovsang til Gud i Mund og tveægget Sværd i Haand

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

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

8 for at binde deres Konger med Lænker, deres ædle med Kæder af Jern

to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

9 og fuldbyrde paa dem den alt skrevne Dom til Ære for alle hans fromme! Halleluja!

to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
