Salme 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing to the Lord a new song, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.

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

Let Israel rejoice in its maker, sons 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, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

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

For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.

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

Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.

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

High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,

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

binding 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 doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
