Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Yah, Sing to Yahweh a song that is new, his praise in the convocation of the men of lovingkindness.

Synger Herren en ny Sang, hans Lovsang i de helliges Menighed!

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, Let the sons of Zion exult in their king;

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

3 Let them praise his Name in the dance, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

De skulle love hans Navn med Dans, de skulle lovsynge ham til Tromme og Harpe.

4 For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.

Thi Herren har Behagelighed til sit Folk, han pryder de sagtmodige med Frelse.

5 Let the men of lovingkindness exult as they glory, Let them shout aloud upon their beds:

De hellige skulle glæde sig i Herlighed, de skulle synge med Fryd paa deres Leje.

6 The high songs of GOD be in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

De skulle ophøje Gud med deres Strube, og der skal være et tveægget Sværd i deres Haand

7 To execute an avenging among the nations, rebukes among the peoples:

for at øve Hævn paa Hedningerne og Straf paa Folkeslægterne;

8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their honoured ones with iron bands:

for at binde deres Konger med Lænker og deres Hædersmænd med Jernbolte;

9 To execute upon them the sentence written, An honour, shall it be to all his men of lovingkindness. Praise ye Yah!

for at fuldbyrde paa dem den Dom, som staar skreven! Det er Æren for alle hans hellige. Halleluja!
