Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; 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 psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

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

5 Let the godly 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 Let the high praises of God be 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 against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;

for at øve Hævn paa Hedningerne og Straf paa Folkeslægterne;

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!

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