Psalms 149

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

med Lovsang til Gud i Mund og tveægget Sværd i Hånd

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

for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

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

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

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

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