Salmenes 149

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

Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be 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 that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

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

Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing 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 shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

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

The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

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

To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

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

To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

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

To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
