Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful 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: let them sing praises to him with the timbrel and harp.

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

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

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

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

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

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

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

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

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