Psaltaren 149

1 Halleluja. Sjunger Herranom en ny viso; de heligas församling skall lofva honom.

Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

2 Israel glädje sig af den honom gjort hafver; Zions barn vare glade öfver sin Konung.

Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

3 De skola lofva hans Namn i dans; med trummor och harpor skola de spela honom.

Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

4 Ty Herren hafver ett behag till sitt folk; han hjelper den elända härliga.

For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

5 De helige skola glade vara, och prisa, och lofva i deras säng;

Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

6 Deras mun skall upphöja Gud; och skola hafva skarp svärd i sina händer;

Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

7 Att de skola hämnas ibland Hedningarna, och straffa ibland folken;

To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

8 Till att binda deras Konungar med kedjor, och deras ädlingar med jernfjettrar;

To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

9 Att de skola göra dem den rätt, derom skrifvet står: Denna ärona skola alle hans heliga hafva. Halleluja.

To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.
