Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people 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; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

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

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

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

Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hand

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

to execute vengeance on the nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.

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

They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

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

They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
