Salme 149

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

Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

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

Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

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

Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

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

For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

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

Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

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

May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

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

to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

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

to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!
