Psalms 149

1 Praise Yahweh! Sing a new song to Yahweh, praise him whenever [his] faithful [people] gather together!

Halleluja! Syng HERREN en ny Sang, hans Pris i de frommes Forsamling!

2 [You] Israeli people, be glad because of [what God], who created you, [has done for you]! You people of Jerusalem, rejoice because of [what God] your king [has done for you]!

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

3 Praise Yahweh by dancing, by beating/playing tambourines, and by playing harps to praise him!

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

4 Yahweh is pleased with his people; he honors humble [people] by helping them to defeat [their enemies].

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

5 God’s people should rejoice because they have won battles and they should sing joyfully all during the night!

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

6 They [MTY] should shout loudly to praise God; but [they should also hold] sharp swords in their hands,

med Lovsang til Gud i Mund og tveægget Sværd i Haand

7 [ready to use them] to defeat the [soldiers of] nations [that do not worship God], and to punish the people [of those nations],

for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

8 and to fasten the arms and legs of their kings and other leaders with iron chains,

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

9 to judge [and punish] the people of those nations, like [God] wrote/declared [should be done]. It is (a privilege/an honor) for God’s faithful people to do that! Praise Yahweh!

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