Salme 149

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

Praise ye the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, [and] his praise in the congregation of saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children 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 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 meek with salvation.

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

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

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

[Let] the high [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 heathen, [and] punishments upon 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 written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
