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

Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah 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 doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

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

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

Exult do saints in honour, 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 honoured ones with fetters 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, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
