Psaltaren 149

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

Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the holy ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. 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 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 crowns the humble with salvation [yeshu`ah].

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

Let the holy ones rejoice in honour. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

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

to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

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 written judgement. All his holy ones have this honour. Praise the LORD!
