Psalms 149

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

Halleluja! syng Herren en ny sang, hans Pris i de frommes Forsamling!

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

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

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

de skal prise hans Navn under Dans, lovsynge ham med Pauke og Citer;

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

thi HERREN har Behag i sit Folk, han smykker de ydmyge med Frelse.

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

De fromme skal juble med Ære, synge på deres Lejer med Fryd,

6 May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

med Lovsang til Gud i Mund og tveægget Sværd i Hånd

7 ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

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

for at binde deres Konger med Lænker, deres ædle med Kæder af Jern

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

og fuldbyrde på dem den alt skrevne Dom til Ære for alle hans fromme! Halleluja! -
