1 Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; {sing} his praise in the congregation of the godly.

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

5 Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

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

7 To execute vengeance against the nations, {and} punishment among the peoples;

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!

1 Halleluja! Syng Herren en ny sang, hans pris i de frommes forsamling!

2 Israel glede sig i sin skaper, Sions barn fryde sig i sin konge!

3 De skal love hans navn med dans, lovsynge ham til pauke og citar.

4 For Herren har behag i sitt folk, han pryder de saktmodige med frelse.

5 De fromme skal fryde sig i herlighet, de skal juble på sitt leie.

6 Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,

7 for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,

8 for å binde deres konger med lenker og deres fornemme menn med jernbånd,

9 for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!
