Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

Synger Herren en ny Sang, hans Lovsang i de helliges Menighed!

2 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

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

3 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

De skulle love hans Navn med Dans, de skulle lovsynge ham til Tromme og Harpe.

4 For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

Thi Herren har Behagelighed til sit Folk, han pryder de sagtmodige med Frelse.

5 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

De hellige skulle glæde sig i Herlighed, de skulle synge med Fryd paa deres Leje.

6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

De skulle ophøje Gud med deres Strube, og der skal være et tveægget Sværd i deres Haand

7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

for at øve Hævn paa Hedningerne og Straf paa Folkeslægterne;

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

for at binde deres Konger med Lænker og deres Hædersmænd med Jernbolte;

9 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!

for at fuldbyrde paa dem den Dom, som staar skreven! Det er Æren for alle hans hellige. Halleluja!
