Psaltaren 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children 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 the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

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

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

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

Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

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

The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

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

To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements 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 upon them the judgment [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.
