1Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.
1Halleluja! Syng Herren en ny sang, hans pris i de frommes forsamling!
2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
2Israel glede sig i sin skaper, Sions barn fryde sig i sin konge!
3Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.
3De skal love hans navn med dans, lovsynge ham til pauke og citar.
4For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.
4For Herren har behag i sitt folk, han pryder de saktmodige med frelse.
5Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.
5De 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 two-edged sword in their hand;
6Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,
7To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;
7for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,
8To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;
8for å binde deres konger med lenker og deres fornemme menn med jernbånd,
9To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.
9for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!
