Salme 149

1 Halleluja! syng Herren en ny sang, hans Pris i de frommes Forsamling!

Hallelujah! Sing to 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 their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

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

Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music 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 adorns the afflicted with salvation.

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

Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

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

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment 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 shackles of iron,

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

to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
