Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!

Halleluja! syng Herren en ny sang, hans Pris i de frommes Forsamling!

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their king!

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

3 Let them praise his name in the dance; Let them praise him with the timbrel and harp!

de skal prise hans Navn under Dans, lovsynge ham med Pauke og Citer;

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.

thi HERREN har Behag i sit Folk, han smykker de ydmyge med Frelse.

5 Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

De fromme skal juble med Ære, synge på deres Lejer med Fryd,

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

med Lovsang til Gud i Mund og tveægget Sværd i Hånd

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishment upon the peoples!

for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

8 To bind their kings with chains. And their nobles with fetters of iron;

for at binde deres Konger med Lænker, deres ædle med Kæder af Jern

9 To execute upon them the sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!

og fuldbyrde på dem den alt skrevne Dom til Ære for alle hans fromme! Halleluja! -
