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.

Halleluja! Syng Herren en ny sang, hans pris i de frommes forsamling!

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

Israel glede sig i sin skaper, Sions barn fryde sig i sin konge!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,

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

for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,

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

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

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