Psalms 149
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.
Halleluja! Syng Herren ein ny song, hans lov i samlingi av dei gudlege!
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.
Israel glede seg i sin skapar, Sions søner frygde seg for sin konge!
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.
Dei skal lova hans namn med dans, syngja for honom til pauka og cither.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
For Herren hev hugnad i sitt folk, han pryder spaklyndte med frelsa.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
Dei gudlege frygdar seg i herlegdom, dei ropar av fagnad på sine lægje.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
Lovsong for Gud er i deira munn, og eit tvieggja sverd i deira hand,
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments amongst the peoples;
til å fullføra hemn yver heidningarne, refsing yver folkeslagi,
8 to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgement written: this honour have all his saints.
til å binda deira kongar med lekkjor og deira storfolk med jarnband,
til å fullføra fyreskriven dom yver deim. Æra er dette for alle hans trugne. Halleluja!
