Salme 149

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

Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

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

Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

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

Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

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

For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

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

Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

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

Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

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

To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

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

To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.
