YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
1 Aleluya. CANTAD á Jehová canción nueva: su alabanza [sea] en la congregación de los santos.
2 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.
2 Alégrese Israel en su Hacedor: los hijos de Sión se gocen en su Rey.
3 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.
3 Alaben su nombre con corro: con adufe y arpa á él canten.
4 For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.
4 Porque Jehová toma contentamiento con su pueblo: hermoseará á los humildes con salud.
5 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.
5 Gozarse han los píos con gloria: cantarán sobre sus camas.
6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
6 Ensalzamientos de Dios [modularán] en sus gargantas, y espadas de dos filos [habrá] en sus manos;
7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.
7 Para hacer venganza de las gentes, y castigo en los pueblos;
8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,
8 Para aprisionar sus reyes en grillos, y sus nobles con cadenas de hierro;
9 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
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.
