< Psalms 149 >
1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.
Synger Herren en ny Sang, hans Lovsang i de helliges Menighed!
2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
Israel glæde sig over sin Skaber, Zions Børn fryde sig over deres Konge!
3 Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.
De skulle love hans Navn med Dans, de skulle lovsynge ham til Tromme og Harpe.
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.
Thi Herren har Behagelighed til sit Folk, han pryder de sagtmodige med Frelse.
5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
De hellige skulle glæde sig i Herlighed, de skulle synge med Fryd paa deres Leje.
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,
De skulle ophøje Gud med deres Strube, og der skal være et tveægget Sværd i deres Haand
7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
for at øve Hævn paa Hedningerne og Straf paa Folkeslægterne;
8 to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,
for at binde deres Konger med Lænker og deres Hædersmænd med Jernbolte;
9 to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
for at fuldbyrde paa dem den Dom, som staar skreven! Det er Æren for alle hans hellige. Halleluja!
