Psalm 149 | New International Reader’s Version

1 Praise the LORD. Sing a new song to the LORD. Sing praise to him in the assembly of his faithful people.

2 Let Israel be filled with joy because God is their Maker. Let the people of Zion be glad because he is their King.

3 Let them praise his name with dancing. Let them make music to him with harps and tambourines.

4 The LORD takes delight in his people. He awards with victory those who are humble.

5 Let his faithful people be filled with joy because of that honour. Let them sing for joy even when they are lying in bed.

6 May they praise God with their mouths. May they hold in their hands a sword that has two edges.

7 Let them pay the nations back. Let them punish the people of the earth.

8 Let them put the kings of those nations in chains. Let them put their nobles in iron chains.

9 Let them carry out God’s sentence against those nations. This will bring glory to all his faithful people. Praise the LORD.

Seger och hämnd

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

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

3 Dansa till hans ära och spela på trummor och harpor.

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

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

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

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