I[a] exalt you, my God the King,

I will praise your name forever and ever.(B)

The Lord is great and is highly praised;(C)
his greatness is unsearchable.(D)
One generation will declare your works to the next
and will proclaim your mighty acts.(E)
I[b] will speak of your splendor and glorious majesty
and[c] your wondrous works.(F)
They will proclaim the power of your awe-inspiring acts,
and I will declare your greatness.[d](G)
They will give a testimony of your great goodness
and will joyfully sing of your righteousness.(H)

The Lord is gracious and compassionate,

the[e] faithful will bless you.(L)

and will declare your might,(M)
12 informing all people of your mighty acts
and of the glorious splendor of your[f] kingdom.(N)
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom;
your rule is for all generations.(O)
The Lord is faithful in all his words
and gracious in all his actions.[g](P)

14 The Lord helps all who fall;
he raises up all who are oppressed.[h](Q)
15 All eyes look to you,
and you give them their food at the proper time.(R)
16 You open your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.(S)

17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and faithful in all his acts.(T)
18 The Lord is near all who call out to him,
all who call out to him with integrity.(U)
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry for help and saves them.(V)
20 The Lord guards all those who love him,
but he destroys all the wicked.(W)
21 My mouth will declare the Lord’s praise;
let every living thing
bless his holy name forever and ever.(X)

Alabanza por la bondad y el poder de Dios

Salmo de alabanza; de David

145 Te exaltaré, mi Dios, mi Rey,
y bendeciré tu nombre eternamente y para siempre.
Cada día te bendeciré
y alabaré tu nombre eternamente y para siempre.
Grande es Jehová y digno de suprema alabanza;
su grandeza es insondable.

Generación a generación celebrará tus obras
y anunciará tus poderosos hechos.
En la hermosura de la gloria de tu magnificencia
y en tus hechos maravillosos meditaré.
Del poder de tus hechos estupendos hablarán los hombres,
y yo publicaré tu grandeza.
Proclamarán la memoria de tu inmensa bondad,
y cantarán tu justicia.

Clemente y misericordioso es Jehová,
lento para la ira y grande en misericordia.
Bueno es Jehová para con todos,
y sus misericordias sobre todas sus obras.

10 ¡Te alaben, Jehová, todas tus obras,
y tus santos te bendigan!
11 La gloria de tu reino digan
y hablen de tu poder,
12 para hacer saber sus poderosos hechos a los hijos de los hombres
y la gloria de la magnificencia de su reino.
13 Tu reino es reino de todos los siglos
y tu señorío por todas las generaciones.

14 Sostiene Jehová a todos los que caen
y levanta a todos los oprimidos.
15 Los ojos de todos esperan en ti
y tú les das su comida a su tiempo.
16 Abres tu mano
y colmas de bendición a todo ser viviente.
17 Justo es Jehová en todos sus caminos
y misericordioso en todas sus obras.
18 Cercano está Jehová a todos los que lo invocan,
a todos los que lo invocan de veras.
19 Cumplirá el deseo de los que lo temen;
oirá asimismo el clamor de ellos y los salvará.
20 Jehová guarda a todos los que lo aman,
pero destruirá a todos los impíos.

21 La alabanza de Jehová proclamará mi boca.
¡Todos bendigan su santo nombre
eternamente y para siempre!
