1Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.
1Halleluja! Syng Herren en ny sang, hans pris i de frommes forsamling!
2Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons 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 psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.
3De skal love hans navn med dans, lovsynge ham til pauke og citar.
4For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.
4For Herren har behag i sitt folk, han pryder de saktmodige med frelse.
5Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
5De fromme skal fryde sig i herlighet, de skal juble på sitt leie.
6Let the high praises of ùGod 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 against the nations, [and] punishment among 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 honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
9for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!
