Psalms 149
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.
Synger Herren en ny Sang, hans Lovsang i de helliges Menighed!
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult 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 sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.
De skulle love hans Navn med Dans, de skulle lovsynge ham til Tromme og Harpe.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
Thi Herren har Behagelighed til sit Folk, han pryder de sagtmodige med Frelse.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
De hellige skulle glæde sig i Herlighed, de skulle synge med Fryd paa deres Leje.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
De skulle ophøje Gud med deres Strube, og der skal være et tveægget Sværd i deres Haand
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;
for at øve Hævn paa Hedningerne og Straf paa Folkeslægterne;
8 to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints.
for at binde deres Konger med Lænker og deres Hædersmænd med Jernbolte;
for at fuldbyrde paa dem den Dom, som staar skreven! Det er Æren for alle hans hellige. Halleluja!
