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

Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the people 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 tambourine and harp.

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

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

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

Let the faithful ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

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

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

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 on them the written judgment. All his faithful ones have this honor. Praise the LORD.
