Bible in Basic English
1Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.
2Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.
3Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.
4For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.
5Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.
6Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;
7To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;
8To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;
9To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Aleluya. CANTAD á Jehová canción nueva: su alabanza sea en la congregación de los santos.
2Alégrese Israel en su Hacedor: los hijos de Sión se gocen en su Rey.
3Alaben su nombre con corro: con adufe y arpa á él canten.
4Porque Jehová toma contentamiento con su pueblo: hermoseará á los humildes con salud.
5Gozarse han los píos con gloria: cantarán sobre sus camas.
6Ensalzamientos de Dios modularán en sus gargantas, y espadas de dos filos habrá en sus manos;
7Para hacer venganza de las gentes, y castigo en los pueblos;
8Para aprisionar sus reyes en grillos, y sus nobles con cadenas de hierro;
9Para ejecutar en ellos el juicio escrito: gloria será esta para todos sus santos. Aleluya.
