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 glede sig i sin skaper, Sions barn fryde sig i sin konge!

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

De skal love hans navn med dans, lovsynge ham til pauke og citar.

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

For Herren har behag i sitt folk, han pryder de saktmodige med frelse.

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

De fromme skal fryde sig i herlighet, de skal juble på sitt leie.

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

Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,

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

for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,

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

for å binde deres konger med lenker og deres fornemme menn med jernbånd,

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

for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!
