< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the saints.
Halleluja. Sjunger Herranom en ny viso; de heligas församling skall lofva honom.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Israel glädje sig af den honom gjort hafver; Zions barn vare glade öfver sin Konung.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
De skola lofva hans Namn i dans; med trummor och harpor skola de spela honom.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
Ty Herren hafver ett behag till sitt folk; han hjelper den elända härliga.
5 Let the saints exult in glory: let them sing for joy upon their beds.
De helige skola glade vara, och prisa, och lofva i deras säng;
6 [Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
Deras mun skall upphöja Gud; och skola hafva skarp svärd i sina händer;
7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples;
Att de skola hämnas ibland Hedningarna, och straffa ibland folken;
8 To bind their king’s with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
Till att binda deras Konungar med kedjor, och deras ädlingar med jernfjettrar;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
Att de skola göra dem den rätt, derom skrifvet står: Denna ärona skola alle hans heliga hafva. Halleluja.
