Psalms 149

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,

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

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

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

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