< Salme 149 >
1 Halleluja! syng Herren en ny sang, hans Pris i de frommes Forsamling!
Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.
2 Israel glæde sig over sin Skaber, over deres Konge fryde sig Zions Børn,
Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; 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 unto 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 adorneth the humble with salvation.
5 De fromme skal juble med Ære, synge på deres Lejer med Fryd,
Let the saints exult in glory; let them sing for joy upon their beds.
6 med Lovsang til Gud i Mund og tveægget Sværd i Hånd
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 nations, and chastisements upon 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 fetters of iron;
9 og fuldbyrde på dem den alt skrevne Dom til Ære for alle hans fromme! Halleluja! -
To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
