LXXUP Updated Brenton English Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: His praise is in the assembly of the saints.
1 Aleluya. CANTAD á Jehová canción nueva: su alabanza [sea] en la congregación de los santos.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; And let the children of Zion exult in their king.
2 Alégrese Israel en su Hacedor: los hijos de Sión se gocen en su Rey.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and psaltery.
3 Alaben su nombre con corro: con adufe y arpa á él canten.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; And will exalt the meek with salvation.
4 Porque Jehová toma contentamiento con su pueblo: hermoseará á los humildes con salud.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; And shall exult on their beds.
5 Gozarse han los píos con gloria: cantarán sobre sus camas.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, And two-edged swords in their hands;
6 Ensalzamientos de Dios [modularán] en sus gargantas, y espadas de dos filos [habrá] en sus manos;
7 To execute vengeance on the nations, [And] punishments among the peoples;
7 Para hacer venganza de las gentes, y castigo en los pueblos;
8 To bind their kings with fetters, And their nobles with manacles of iron;
8 Para aprisionar sus reyes en grillos, y sus nobles con cadenas de hierro;
9 To execute on them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints.
9 Para ejecutar en ellos el juicio escrito: gloria [será] esta para todos sus santos. Aleluya.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXLIX)

    Let us praise the Lord both in voice, and in understanding, and in good works; and, as this Psalm exhorteth, let us sing unto Him a new song. It beginneth: "Sing ye to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the Saints" (ver. 1).

  2. Quotes verse 149:1 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XVIII)

    For now that the one Church in Judæa is cast off, the Churches of Christ are increased over all the world; and of them it is said in the Psalms, Sing unto the Lord a new song, His praise in the Congregation of Saints.
