149 Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.

Seger och hämnd

149 Halleluja! Ja, prisa Herren! Sjung en ny sång för honom. Sjung lovsånger till honom, allt hans folk!

Israel, var glad över din Skapare! Jerusalems invånare, upphöj er kung!

Dansa till hans ära och spela på trummor och harpor.

4-5 Herren älskar sitt folk, och de som är förtryckta ska han befria. Därför ska de vara glada. De ska prisa honom natten lång.

6-7 Prisa er Gud med hög röst, ni hans folk! Använd ett skarpt svärd till att straffa de folk som inte vill veta av honom.

Bind folkens kungar med kättingar och sätt handbojor på deras ledare,

och verkställ deras domar.Detta är en triumfens dag för Guds folk. Halleluja! Lova Herren!
