1Halleluja! Syng Herren en ny sang, hans pris i de frommes forsamling!
1Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.
2Israel glede sig i sin skaper, Sions barn fryde sig i sin konge!
2Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.
3De skal love hans navn med dans, lovsynge ham til pauke og citar.

4For Herren har behag i sitt folk, han pryder de saktmodige med frelse.
4For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.
5De fromme skal fryde sig i herlighet, de skal juble på sitt leie.

6Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,
6Let the high praises of ùGod be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:
7for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,
7To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;
8for å binde deres konger med lenker og deres fornemme menn med jernbånd,
8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!
9To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
