Salme 149

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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the 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 chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

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

The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

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

The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

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

to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,

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

to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
