Psalms 149

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

Halleluja! Syng Herren en ny sang, hans pris i de frommes forsamling!

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

Israel glede sig i sin skaper, Sions barn fryde sig i sin konge!

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

De skal love hans navn med dans, lovsynge ham til pauke og citar.

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

For Herren har behag i sitt folk, han pryder de saktmodige med frelse.

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

De fromme skal fryde sig i herlighet, de skal juble på sitt leie.

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

Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,

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

for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,

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

for å binde deres konger med lenker og deres fornemme menn med jernbånd,

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

for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!
