de Biblica1Alaba, 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 cubre de amor y compasión;5él colma de bienes tu vida[1] y te rejuvenece como a las águilas.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 clemente y compasivo, 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 maldades.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 nuestra condición; sabe que somos de barro.15El hombre es como la hierba, sus días florecen como la flor del campo:16sacudida por el viento, 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.20Alaben al Señor, ustedes sus ángeles, paladines que ejecutan su palabra y obedecen su mandato.21Alaben al Señor, todos sus ejércitos, siervos suyos que cumplen su voluntad.22Alaben al Señor, todas sus obras en todos los ámbitos de su dominio. ¡Alaba, alma mía, al Señor!
1Of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! (Sal 103:22; Sal 104:1)2Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, (Dt 6:12; Dt 8:11; Sal 103:1)3who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, (Ex 15:26; Ex 34:7; Sal 107:20; Sal 147:3; Is 33:24; Mt 8:17; Mt 9:2; Mr 2:5; Lc 7:47)4who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, (Sal 5:12; Sal 56:13)5who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Sal 107:9; Is 40:31)6The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. (Sal 146:7)7He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. (Ex 33:13; Ex 34:10; Sal 25:4; Sal 78:11)8The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. (Sal 86:15)9He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. (Sal 30:5; Is 57:16; Jer 3:5; Jer 3:12; Miq 7:18)10He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. (Esd 9:13)11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; (Sal 36:5; Sal 103:13; Sal 103:17; Sal 117:2; Lc 1:50)12as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. (Is 38:17; Is 43:25; Miq 7:19)13As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. (Sal 103:11; Mal 3:17)14For he knows our frame;[1] he remembers that we are dust. (Sal 78:39)15As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; (Job 14:2; Sal 90:5)16for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. (Job 7:10; Sal 37:36; Is 40:7)17But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children, (Ex 20:5; Sal 25:6; Sal 103:11)18to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. (Dt 7:9; Sal 19:8)19The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. (Sal 11:4; Sal 47:2; Sal 93:2; Dn 4:17)20Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word! (Sal 78:25; Sal 148:2; Mt 6:10; Lc 2:13)21Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will! (Gn 32:2; Jos 5:14; 1 R 22:19; Sal 104:4; Dn 7:10; Heb 1:14)22Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul! (Sal 103:1; Sal 145:10)
