Psalms 149

Halleluja! Syng Herren en ny sang, hans pris i de frommes forsamling!

Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

Israel glede sig i sin skaper, Sions barn fryde sig i sin konge!

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

De skal love hans navn med dans, lovsynge ham til pauke og citar.

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

For Herren har behag i sitt folk, han pryder de saktmodige med frelse.

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

De fromme skal fryde sig i herlighet, de skal juble på sitt leie.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,

To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

for å binde deres konger med lenker og deres fornemme menn med jernbånd,

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!

To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
