Salmenes 149

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

Praise ye Yah, Sing to Yahweh a song that is new, his praise in the convocation of the men of lovingkindness.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, Let the sons of Zion exult 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, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

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

For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.

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

Let the men of lovingkindness exult as they glory, Let them shout aloud upon their beds:

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

The high songs of GOD be in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

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

To execute an avenging among the nations, rebukes among the peoples:

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

To bind their kings with fetters, and their honoured ones with iron bands:

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

To execute upon them the sentence written, An honour, shall it be to all his men of lovingkindness. Praise ye Yah!
