< 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. Sjunger Herranom en ny viso; de heligas församling skall lofva honom.
2 Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.
Israel glädje sig af den honom gjort hafver; Zions barn vare glade öfver sin Konung.
3 Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.
De skola lofva hans Namn i dans; med trummor och harpor skola de spela honom.
4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.
Ty Herren hafver ett behag till sitt folk; han hjelper den elända härliga.
5 Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.
De helige skola glade vara, och prisa, och lofva i deras säng;
6 Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,
Deras mun skall upphöja Gud; och skola hafva skarp svärd i sina händer;
7 To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:
Att de skola hämnas ibland Hedningarna, och straffa ibland folken;
8 To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,
Till att binda deras Konungar med kedjor, och deras ädlingar med jernfjettrar;
9 That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.
Att de skola göra dem den rätt, derom skrifvet står: Denna ärona skola alle hans heliga hafva. Halleluja.
