Psalms 149

1 Praise JAH. Sing to YHWH a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the people 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 to him with tambourine and harp.

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

4 For YHWH takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

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

5 Let the faithful ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, 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 on the nations, and punishments on 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 on them the written judgment. All his faithful ones have this honor. Praise JAH.

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