Salme 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult 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: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

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

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

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

Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

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

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

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:

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

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles 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 [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.
