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!
