< Psaltaren 149 >

1 Halleluja. Sjunger Herranom en ny viso; de heligas församling skall lofva honom.
Praise you the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of 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: let the children of Zion be joyful 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 sing praises to him with the tambourine and harp.
4 Ty Herren hafver ett behag till sitt folk; han hjelper den elända härliga.
For the LORD takes pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 De helige skola glade vara, och prisa, och lofva i deras säng;
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud 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 mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 Att de skola hämnas ibland Hedningarna, och straffa ibland folken;
To execute vengeance on the heathen, and punishments on the people;
8 Till att binda deras Konungar med kedjor, och deras ädlingar med jernfjettrar;
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 Att de skola göra dem den rätt, derom skrifvet står: Denna ärona skola alle hans heliga hafva. Halleluja.
To execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise you the LORD.
