Salmenes 149

1 Halleluja! Syng Herren ein ny song, hans lov i samlingi av dei gudlege!

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.

2 Israel glede seg i sin skapar, Sions søner frygde seg for sin konge!

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.

3 Dei skal lova hans namn med dans, syngja for honom til pauka og cither.

Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

4 For Herren hev hugnad i sitt folk, han pryder spaklyndte med frelsa.

For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

5 Dei gudlege frygdar seg i herlegdom, dei ropar av fagnad på sine lægje.

The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

6 Lovsong for Gud er i deira munn, og eit tvieggja sverd i deira hand,

The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

7 til å fullføra hemn yver heidningarne, refsing yver folkeslagi,

to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

8 til å binda deira kongar med lekkjor og deira storfolk med jarnband,

to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,

9 til å fullføra fyreskriven dom yver deim. Æra er dette for alle hans trugne. Halleluja!

to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
