Psalms 149

1 Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

¡Alaben al Señor! ¡Canten una canción nueva al Señor! ¡Alábenlo en medio de la reunión de sus seguidores fieles!

2 Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

Que Israel celebre a su Creador. Que el pueblo de Sión se alegre en su Rey.

3 Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

Alaben su naturaleza con danza; canten alabanzas a él con acompañamiento de panderetas y harpas.

4 For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

Porque el Señor se alegra con su pueblo, y honra a los oprimidos con su salvación.

5 Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

Que los fieles celebren la honra del Señor, que canten incluso desde sus camas.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

Que sus alabanzas siempre estén en sus labios, que tengan una espada de doble filo en sus manos,

7 To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

listos para vengarse de las naciones, y castigar a los pueblos extranjeros,

8 To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

para encarcelar a sus reyes con grilletes y a sus líderes con cadenas de hierro,

9 To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.

para imponer el juicio decretado contra ellos. Esta es la honra de sus fieles seguidores. ¡Alaben al Señor!
