Salme 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing to the Lord a new song, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.

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

Let Israel rejoice in its maker, sons of Zion exult in their king.

3 de skal prise hans Navn under Dans, lovsynge ham med Pauke og Citer;

Let them praise his name in the dance, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

4 thi HERREN har Behag i sit Folk, han smykker de ydmyge med Frelse.

For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.

5 De fromme skal juble med Ære, synge på deres Lejer med Fryd,

Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.

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

High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 for at tage Hævn over Folkene og revse Folkeslagene,

on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,

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

binding their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,

9 og fuldbyrde på dem den alt skrevne Dom til Ære for alle hans fromme! Halleluja! -

to execute on them the doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
