Salme 149

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

Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

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

Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

3 de skal prise hans Navn under Dans, lovsynge ham med Pauke og Citer;

They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

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

For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

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

Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

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

The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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

To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

9 og fuldbyrde paa dem den alt skrevne Dom til Ære for alle hans fromme! Halleluja!

To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
