Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

Synger Herren en ny Sang, hans Lovsang i de helliges Menighed!

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

De skulle love hans Navn med Dans, de skulle lovsynge ham til Tromme og Harpe.

4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

Thi Herren har Behagelighed til sit Folk, han pryder de sagtmodige med Frelse.

5 Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

De hellige skulle glæde sig i Herlighed, de skulle synge med Fryd paa deres Leje.

6 The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

De skulle ophøje Gud med deres Strube, og der skal være et tveægget Sværd i deres Haand

7 to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

for at øve Hævn paa Hedningerne og Straf paa Folkeslægterne;

8 to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

for at binde deres Konger med Lænker og deres Hædersmænd med Jernbolte;

9 to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.

for at fuldbyrde paa dem den Dom, som staar skreven! Det er Æren for alle hans hellige. Halleluja!
