< Psalms 149 >

1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.
Halleluja! Syng Herren ein ny song, hans lov i samlingi av dei gudlege!
2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult in their King.
Israel glede seg i sin skapar, Sions søner frygde seg for sin konge!
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.
Dei skal lova hans namn med dans, syngja for honom til pauka og cither.
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.
For Herren hev hugnad i sitt folk, han pryder spaklyndte med frelsa.
5 Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.
Dei gudlege frygdar seg i herlegdom, dei ropar av fagnad på sine lægje.
6 The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;
Lovsong for Gud er i deira munn, og eit tvieggja sverd i deira hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:
til å fullføra hemn yver heidningarne, refsing yver folkeslagi,
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron:
til å binda deira kongar med lekkjor og deira storfolk med jarnband,
9 To execute upon them the judgment [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.
til å fullføra fyreskriven dom yver deim. Æra er dette for alle hans trugne. Halleluja!
