Psaltaren 149

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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.

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

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.

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

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

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

The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.

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

The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

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

to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments amongst the peoples;

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

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgement written: this honour have all his saints.

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