Psalms 149
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.
Halleluja! Syng Herren en ny sang, hans pris i de frommes forsamling!
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult 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 sings praises to him with timbrel and psaltery.
De skal love hans navn med dans, lovsynge ham til pauke og citar.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
For Herren har behag i sitt folk, han pryder de saktmodige med frelse.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
De fromme skal fryde sig i herlighet, de skal juble på sitt leie.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;
for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,
8 to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.
for å binde deres konger med lenker og deres fornemme menn med jernbånd,
for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!
