Psaltaren 149

1 Halleluja. Sjunger Herranom en ny viso; de heligas församling skall lofva honom.

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

2 Israel glädje sig af den honom gjort hafver; Zions barn vare glade öfver sin Konung.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 De skola lofva hans Namn i dans; med trummor och harpor skola de spela honom.

Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

4 Ty Herren hafver ett behag till sitt folk; han hjelper den elända härliga.

For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 De helige skola glade vara, och prisa, och lofva i deras säng;

Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6 Deras mun skall upphöja Gud; och skola hafva skarp svärd i sina händer;

The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

7 Att de skola hämnas ibland Hedningarna, och straffa ibland folken;

to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

8 Till att binda deras Konungar med kedjor, och deras ädlingar med jernfjettrar;

to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

9 Att de skola göra dem den rätt, derom skrifvet står: Denna ärona skola alle hans heliga hafva. Halleluja.

to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
