Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

3 Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.

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

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.

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

5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them sing for joy upon their beds.

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

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

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

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon the peoples;

for at øve Hævn paa Hedningerne og Straf paa Folkeslægterne;

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.

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