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 ein ny song, hans lov i samlingi av dei gudlege!

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Israel glede seg i sin skapar, Sions søner frygde seg for sin konge!

3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

Dei skal lova hans namn med dans, syngja for honom til pauka og cither.

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

For Herren hev hugnad i sitt folk, han pryder spaklyndte med frelsa.

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

Dei gudlege frygdar seg i herlegdom, dei ropar av fagnad på sine lægje.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

Lovsong for Gud er i deira munn, og eit tvieggja sverd i deira hand,

7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

til å fullføra hemn yver heidningarne, refsing yver folkeslagi,

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

til å binda deira kongar med lekkjor og deira storfolk med jarnband,

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

til å fullføra fyreskriven dom yver deim. Æra er dette for alle hans trugne. Halleluja!
