Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children 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 sing praises unto 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 meek with salvation.

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

5 Let the saints exult in glory: let them sing for joy upon their beds.

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

6 [Let] the high 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 punishments upon the peoples;

for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

8 To bind their king’s 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 judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

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