El Señor hace maravillas

¡Aleluya!

Agradezco al SEÑOR de todo corazón,
    en compañía de la gente honesta
    y ante toda la comunidad.
El SEÑOR hace maravillas;
    las experimentan[a] los que están felices con ellas.
Sus obras son gloriosas y excelentes;
    su justicia nunca se acaba.
Ha hecho inolvidables sus maravillas;
    el SEÑOR es compasivo y misericordioso.
Dios alimenta a los que lo respetan,
    nunca se olvida de su pacto con ellos.
Él les dio a ellos la tierra de otras naciones
    y así les mostró el poder de sus obras.
Todo lo que hace es bueno y justo;
    podemos confiar en todos sus mandamientos,
pues son firmes para siempre
    y están hechos de justicia y de verdad.
Dio libertad a su pueblo,
    hizo con ellos un pacto para siempre.
Su nombre es santo y temible.

10 La sabiduría comienza por respetar al SEÑOR;
    los que obedecen sus mandamientos demuestran que son inteligentes.
    ¡La alabanza a Dios permanece para siempre!
