Psaltaren 149

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

Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people of Zion rejoice in their king.

3 De skola lofva hans Namn i dans; med trummor och harpor skola de spela honom.

Let them praise his name with dancing; 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 Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

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

Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

May the 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 acts of punishment on the peoples.

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

They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

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

They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
