1 T e alabo, Señor, porque me has salvado; porque no dejaste que mis enemigos se burlaran de mí.

I will lift You up, O Lord, for You have lifted me up. You have not let those who hate me stand over me in joy.

2 M i Señor y Dios, te pedí ayuda, y tú me sanaste;

O Lord my God, I cried to You for help and You healed me.

3 t ú, Señor, me devolviste la vida; ¡me libraste de caer en el sepulcro!

O Lord, You have brought me up from the grave. You have kept me alive, so that I will not go down into the deep.

4 U stedes, pueblo fiel del Señor, ¡canten salmos y alaben su santo nombre!

Sing praise to the Lord, all you who belong to Him. Give thanks to His holy name.

5 S u enojo dura sólo un momento, pero su bondad dura toda la vida. Tal vez lloremos durante la noche, pero en la mañana saltaremos de alegría.

For His anger lasts only a short time. But His favor is for life. Crying may last for a night, but joy comes with the new day.

6 E n mi prosperidad llegué a pensar que nunca conocería la derrota.

As for me, when all was going well, I said, “I will never be moved.”

7 Y es que tú, Señor, con tu bondad, me mantenías firme como un baluarte. Pero me diste la espalda, y quedé aterrado.

O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong. But when You hid Your face, I was troubled.

8 A ti, Señor, seguiré clamando, y jamás dejaré de suplicarte.

I cried to You, O Lord. I begged the Lord for loving-kindness.

9 ¿ Qué ganas con que yo muera, con que baje yo al sepulcro? ¿Acaso el polvo podrá alabarte? ¿Acaso el polvo proclamará tu verdad?

What good will come from my blood, if I go down to the grave? Will the dust thank You? Will it tell how You are faithful?

10 ¡ Escúchame, Señor, y tenme compasión! ¡Nunca dejes, Señor, de ayudarme!

Hear, O Lord. And show me loving-kindness. O Lord, be my Helper.

11 T ú cambias mis lágrimas en danza; me quitas la tristeza y me rodeas de alegría,

You have turned my crying into dancing. You have taken off my clothes made from hair, and dressed me with joy.

12 p ara que cante salmos a tu gloria. Señor, mi Dios: ¡no puedo quedarme callado! ¡siempre te daré gracias!

So my soul may sing praise to You, and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
