Salmos 103
La Biblia de las Américas
Himno de alabanza
Salmo de David.
103 Bendice, alma mía, al Señor(A),
y bendiga todo mi ser[a] su santo nombre(B).
2 Bendice, alma mía, al Señor,
y no olvides ninguno de sus beneficios(C).
3 Él es el que perdona todas tus iniquidades(D),
el que sana todas tus enfermedades(E);
4 el que rescata de la fosa tu vida(F),
el que te corona de bondad y compasión(G);
5 el que colma[b] de bienes tus años[c](H),
para que tu juventud se renueve como el águila(I).
6 El Señor hace justicia[d](J),
y juicios a favor de todos los oprimidos(K).
7 A Moisés dio a conocer sus caminos(L),
y a los hijos de Israel sus obras(M).
8 Compasivo y clemente es el Señor(N),
lento para la ira y grande en misericordia(O).
9 No contenderá con nosotros para siempre(P),
ni para siempre guardará su enojo(Q).
10 No nos ha tratado según nuestros pecados(R),
ni nos ha pagado conforme a nuestras iniquidades.
11 Porque como están de altos los cielos sobre la tierra(S),
así es de grande su misericordia para los que le temen[e].
12 Como está de lejos el oriente del occidente,
así alejó de nosotros nuestras transgresiones(T).
13 Como un padre se compadece de sus hijos(U),
así se compadece el Señor de los que le temen[f].
14 Porque Él sabe de qué estamos hechos[g](V),
se acuerda(W) de que somos solo polvo(X).
15 El hombre, como la hierba son sus días(Y);
como la flor del campo, así florece(Z);
16 cuando el viento pasa sobre ella(AA), deja de ser,
y su lugar ya no la reconoce(AB).
17 Mas la misericordia del Señor es desde la eternidad hasta la eternidad(AC), para[h] los que le temen[i],
y su justicia para los hijos de los hijos(AD),
18 para los que guardan su pacto(AE)
y se acuerdan de sus preceptos para cumplirlos.
19 El Señor ha establecido su trono en los cielos(AF),
y su reino domina sobre todo[j](AG).
20 Bendecid al Señor, vosotros sus ángeles(AH),
poderosos en fortaleza(AI), que ejecutáis su mandato(AJ),
obedeciendo la voz de su palabra(AK).
21 Bendecid al Señor, vosotros todos sus ejércitos(AL),
que le servís haciendo su voluntad(AM).
22 Bendecid al Señor, vosotras todas sus obras(AN),
en todos los lugares de su dominio.
Bendice, alma mía, al Señor.

Expanded Bible
Praise to the Lord of Love
Of David.
103 ·All that I am [T O my soul], ·praise [bless] the Lord;
·everything in me [L all my inward parts], ·praise [bless] his holy name.
2 ·My whole being [T O my soul], ·praise [bless] the Lord
and do not forget all his ·kindnesses [gifts; benefits].
3 He forgives all ·my [or your] ·sins [iniquity]
and heals all ·my [or your] ·diseases [ills].
4 He ·saves [redeems] ·my [or your] life from the ·grave [L pit]
and ·loads [or crowns] ·me [or you] with ·love [loyalty] and ·mercy [compassion].
5 He satisfies ·me [or you] with good things [L as long as you live; or according to your desires]
and ·makes me young again [L renews your youth], like the eagle [Is. 40:31].
6 The Lord does what is ·right [righteous] and ·fair [just]
for all who are ·wronged by others [oppressed; exploited].
7 He ·showed [revealed] his ways to Moses [Ex. 34:5–7]
and his deeds to the ·people [sons] of Israel.
8 The Lord shows ·mercy [compassion] and ·is kind [grace].
He ·does not become angry quickly [is slow to anger], and he has great ·love [loyalty; 86:15; 145:8–9; Ex. 34:6–7; Neh. 9:17. 31; Joel 2:13; Jon. 4:2].
9 He will not always ·accuse [charge; contend with] us,
and he will not ·be angry forever [L keep watch forever].
10 He ·has not punished us as our sins should be punished [L does not act toward us according to our sins];
he has not repaid us ·for the evil we have done [L according to our iniquity].
11 As high as the ·sky [heaven] is above the earth,
so great is his ·love [loyalty] for those who ·respect [fear] him [Prov. 1:7].
12 He has taken our ·sins [transgressions] away from us
as far as the east is from west.
13 The Lord has ·mercy [compassion] on those who ·respect [fear] him [Prov. 1:7],
as a father has ·mercy [compassion] on his children.
14 He knows how we were ·made [formed];
he remembers that we are dust [Gen. 2:7; 3:19; Job 4:19; 10:9; 34:15; Eccl. 3:20; 12:7].
15 Human ·life [L days] is like grass [90:5–6; Is. 51:12];
we ·grow [sprout; flourish] like a flower in the field [Job 14:2; Is. 40:6–7].
16 After the wind ·blows [passes by], ·the flower [L it] is gone,
and ·there is no sign of where it was [L no one can recognize its place].
17 But the Lord’s ·love [loyalty] for those who ·respect [fear] him [Prov. 1:7]
continues forever and ever,
and his ·goodness [righteousness] continues to their ·grandchildren [L children’s children]
18 and to those who ·keep [observe; guard] his ·agreement [covenant; treaty; Ex. 19–24]
and who remember to ·obey [L do] his ·orders [precepts].
19 The Lord has ·set [established] his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over everything [93:1; 96:10; 99:1].
20 You who are his ·angels [or messengers], ·praise [bless] the Lord.
You are the mighty warriors who do what he says
and who ·obey [listen to] his voice.
21 You, his ·armies [hosts; C perhaps the angelic army], ·praise [bless] the Lord;
you are his ·servants [ministers] who do what he ·wants [desires].
22 Everything the Lord has made
should ·praise [bless] him in all the places he rules.
·My whole being [T O my soul], ·praise [bless] the Lord.
