1 Halleluja! syng Herren en ny sang, hans Pris i de frommes Forsamling!

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

2 Israel glæde sig over sin Skaber, over deres Konge fryde sig Zions Børn,

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

6 med Lovsang til Gud i Mund og tveægget Sværd i Hånd

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

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

8 for at binde deres Konger med Lænker, deres ædle med Kæder af Jern
