Salme 149

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

Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

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

Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

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

Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

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

For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

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

Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

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

May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

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

to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

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

to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!
