Salmo 103
Salmo de David.
1Alaba, alma mía, al Señor;
alabe todo mi ser su santo nombre.
2Alaba, alma mía, al Señor
y no olvides ninguno de sus beneficios.
3Él perdona todos tus pecados
y sana todas tus dolencias;
4él rescata tu vida del sepulcro
y te corona de gran amor y misericordia;
5él te colma de bienes
y tu juventud se renueva como el águila.
6El Señor hace justicia
y defiende a todos los oprimidos.
7Dio a conocer sus caminos a Moisés;
reveló sus obras al pueblo de Israel.
8El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso,
lento para la ira y grande en amor.
9No sostiene para siempre su querella
ni guarda rencor eternamente.
10No nos trata conforme a nuestros pecados
ni nos paga según nuestras iniquidades.
11Tan grande es su amor por los que le temen
como alto es el cielo sobre la tierra.
12Tan lejos de nosotros echó nuestras transgresiones
como lejos del oriente está el occidente.
13Tan compasivo es el Señor con los que le temen
como lo es un padre con sus hijos.
14Él conoce de qué hemos sido formados;
recuerda que somos polvo.
15El hombre es como la hierba,
sus días florecen como la flor del campo:
16cuando el viento pasa
desaparece sin dejar rastro alguno.
17Pero el amor del Señor es eterno
y siempre está con los que le temen;
su justicia está con los hijos de sus hijos,
18con los que cumplen su pacto
y se acuerdan de sus preceptos para ponerlos por obra.
19El Señor ha establecido su trono en el cielo;
su reinado domina sobre todos.
20Bendigan al Señor, ustedes sus ángeles,
paladines que ejecutan su palabra
y obedecen a su voz.
21Bendigan al Señor, todos sus ejércitos,
siervos suyos que cumplen su voluntad.
22Bendigan al Señor, todas sus obras
en todos los ámbitos de su dominio.
¡Bendice, alma mía, al Señor!
A Psalm of David.
1Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.103.8 plenteous…: Heb. great in mercy
9He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.103.11 as…: Heb. according to the height of the heaven
12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.103.16 it is…: Heb. it is not
17But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
18To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.103.20 that excel…: Heb. mighty in strength
21Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
