Psalms 149

1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the holy ones.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. 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 tambourine and harp!

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

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation [yeshu`ah].

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

5 Let the holy ones rejoice in honour. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, 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 vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

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 on them the written judgement. All his holy ones have this honour. Praise the LORD!

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