Salmo de David.

103 Alaba, alma mía, al Señor;
    alabe todo mi ser su santo nombre.
Alaba, alma mía, al Señor,
    y no olvides ninguno de sus beneficios.
Él perdona todos tus pecados
    y sana todas tus dolencias;
él rescata tu vida del sepulcro
    y te cubre de amor y compasión;
él colma de bienes tu vida[a]
    y te rejuvenece como a las águilas.

El Señor hace justicia
    y defiende a todos los oprimidos.
Dio a conocer sus caminos a Moisés;
    reveló sus obras al pueblo de Israel.

El Señor es clemente y compasivo,
    lento para la ira y grande en amor.
No sostiene para siempre su querella
    ni guarda rencor eternamente.
10 No nos trata conforme a nuestros pecados
    ni nos paga según nuestras maldades.
11 Tan grande es su amor por los que le temen
    como alto es el cielo sobre la tierra.
12 Tan lejos de nosotros echó nuestras transgresiones
    como lejos del oriente está el occidente.
13 Tan compasivo es el Señor con los que le temen
    como lo es un padre con sus hijos.
14 Él conoce nuestra condición;
    sabe que somos de barro.

15 El hombre es como la hierba,
    sus días florecen como la flor del campo:
16 sacudida por el viento,
    desaparece sin dejar rastro alguno.
17 Pero el amor del Señor es eterno
    y siempre está con los que le temen;
su justicia está con los hijos de sus hijos,
18     con los que cumplen su pacto
y se acuerdan de sus preceptos
    para ponerlos por obra.

19 El Señor ha establecido su trono en el cielo;
    su reinado domina sobre todos.

20 Alabad al Señor, vosotros sus ángeles,
    que ejecutáis su palabra
    y obedecéis su mandato.
21 Alabad al Señor, todos sus ejércitos,
    siervos suyos que cumplís su voluntad.
22 Alabad al Señor, todas sus obras
    en todos los ámbitos de su dominio.

¡Alaba, alma mía, al Señor!

  1. 103:5 vida. Palabra de difícil traducción.

By David.

103 Praise the Lord, my soul!
Praise his holy name, all that is within me.
Praise the Lord, my soul,
and never forget all the good he has done:
He is the one who forgives all your sins,
the one who heals all your diseases,
the one who rescues your life from the pit,
the one who crowns you with mercy and compassion,
the one who fills your life with blessings
so that you become young again like an eagle.

The Lord does what is right and fair
for all who are oppressed.
He let Moses know his ways.
He let the Israelites know the things he had done.
The Lord is compassionate, merciful, patient,
and always ready to forgive.

He will not always accuse us of wrong
or be angry ⌞with us⌟ forever.
10 He has not treated us as we deserve for our sins
or paid us back for our wrongs.

11 As high as the heavens are above the earth—
that is how vast his mercy is toward those who fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west—
that is how far he has removed our rebellious acts from himself.
13 As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.

14 He certainly knows what we are made of.
He bears in mind that we are dust.
15 Human life is as short-lived as grass.
It blossoms like a flower in the field.
16 When the wind blows over the flower, it disappears,
and there is no longer any sign of it.

17 But from everlasting to everlasting,
the Lord’s mercy is on those who fear him.
His righteousness belongs
to their children and grandchildren,
18 to those who are faithful to his promise,[a]
to those who remember to follow his guiding principles.
19 The Lord has set his throne in heaven.
His kingdom rules everything.

20 Praise the Lord, all his angels,
you mighty beings who carry out his orders
and are ready to obey his spoken orders.
21 Praise the Lord, all his armies,
his servants who carry out his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his creatures
in all the places of his empire.
Praise the Lord, my soul!
