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 Church of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion 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 chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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