< Salmenes 149 >

1 Halleluja! Syng Herren en ny sang, hans pris i de frommes forsamling!
Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
2 Israel glede sig i sin skaper, Sions barn fryde sig i sin konge!
Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons of Zion rejoice in their king.
3 De skal love hans navn med dans, lovsynge ham til pauke og citar.
They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise to Him with timbrel and harp.
4 For Herren har behag i sitt folk, han pryder de saktmodige med frelse.
For YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.
5 De fromme skal fryde sig i herlighet, de skal juble på sitt leie.
Saints exult in glory, They sing aloud on their beds.
6 Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,
The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
7 for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,
To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.
8 for å binde deres konger med lenker og deres fornemme menn med jernbånd,
To bind their kings with chains, And their honored ones with chains of iron,
9 for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!
To do among them the judgment written, It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
