Psalms 149

1 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

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

2 Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

Israel glæde sig over sin Skaber, Zions Børn fryde sig over deres Konge!

3 Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

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

4 For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

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

5 Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

De hellige skulle glæde sig i Herlighed, de skulle synge med Fryd paa deres Leje.

6 May their praises of God always be on their lips, 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 ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

for at øve Hævn paa Hedningerne og Straf paa Folkeslægterne;

8 to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

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

9 to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!

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