Salme 149

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

Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that 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 praise him with the timbrel and harp!

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.

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

Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

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

Let the praises of God be 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 punishment 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 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 sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
