1 Halleluja! Syng Herren en ny sang, hans pris i de frommes forsamling!

Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.

2 Israel glede sig i sin skaper, Sions barn fryde sig i sin konge!

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 De skal love hans navn med dans, lovsynge ham til pauke og citar.

Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.

4 For Herren har behag i sitt folk, han pryder de saktmodige med frelse.

For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.

5 De fromme skal fryde sig i herlighet, de skal juble på sitt leie.

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

6 Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,

To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon the peoples;

8 for å binde deres konger med lenker og deres fornemme menn med jernbånd,

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!

To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
