Psalm 149
1Praise the Lord.
Sing a new song to the Lord.
Sing praise to him in the assembly of his faithful people.
2Let Israel be filled with joy because God is their Maker.
Let the people of Zion be glad because he is their King.
3Let them praise his name with dancing.
Let them make music to him with harps and tambourines.
4The Lord takes delight in his people.
He awards with victory those who are humble.
5Let his faithful people be filled with joy because of that honor.
Let them sing for joy even when they are lying in bed.
6May they praise God with their mouths.
May they hold in their hands a sword that has two edges.
7Let them pay the nations back.
Let them punish the people of the earth.
8Let them put the kings of those nations in chains.
Let them put their nobles in iron chains.
9Let them carry out God’s sentence against those nations.
This will bring glory to all his faithful people.
Praise the Lord.
Guds folks triumf
1Halleluja!
Syng en ny sang for Herren,
pris ham i de gudfrygtiges forsamling.
2Israel, glæd dig over din Skaber,
Jerusalem, bryd ud i takkesang for din konge.
3Pris ham ved at danse af glæde,
lovsyng ham med tamburiner og lyrer.
4Herren fryder sig over sit folk,
han kommer de ydmyge til undsætning.
5Lad de gudfrygtige fryde sig over sejren,
juble af glæde natten igennem.
6Med lovsang til Gud i hjerte og mund,
og et tveægget sværd i hånden,
7fuldbyrder de Guds dom over nationerne
og udfører straffen over de fremmede folkeslag.
8De lægger fjendernes konger i lænker
og stormændene i fodjern.
9De udfører den dom, der er afsagt,
men Guds trofaste tjenere vil blive æret.
Halleluja!
