Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.

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

2 Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.

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

3 Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.

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

4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.

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

5 Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.

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

6 Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,

De skulle ophøje Gud med deres Strube, og der skal være et tveægget Sværd i deres Haand

7 To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:

for at øve Hævn paa Hedningerne og Straf paa Folkeslægterne;

8 To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,

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

9 That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.

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