Psalms 149

1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church 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 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 choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

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

5 The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

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

6 The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: 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 upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,

8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

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