Psalm 115:3

3 Nuestro Dios está en los cielos
y hace lo que le place.

Psalm 115:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 115:3

But our God is in the heavens
His habitation is in the heavens, as the Targum; the Septuagint and Arabic versions add, "and in earth": he is in both, and fills both with his presence; and cannot be contained in either. He is the Maker and Possessor of heaven and earth; the one is his throne, and the other is his footstool: he dwells in the highest heaven, and overlooks all persons and things on earth, and overrules all; he is higher than the highest, and his kingdom ruleth over all.

He hath done whatsoever he pleased;
in creation, in providence, and in grace: he hath made what creatures he pleased, and for his pleasure; and he does according to his will, and after the counsel of it, in heaven and in earth; and is gracious to whom he will be gracious; saves and calls men, not according to their works, but according to his own purpose and will; whose counsel shall stand, and he will do all his pleasure; he is the most high God, and a sovereign Being; all that he wills are possible to him, and easily done by him, and which Heathens themselves own ^F24.

Psalm 115:3 In-Context

1 Salmo 115
No a nosotros, oh Señor
, no a nosotros
sino a tu nombre le corresponde toda la gloria,
por tu amor inagotable y tu fidelidad.

2 ¿Por qué dejar que las naciones digan:
«Dónde está el Dios de Israel»?

3 Nuestro Dios está en los cielos
y hace lo que le place.

4 Los ídolos de ellos no son más que objetos de plata y oro;
manos humanas les dieron forma.

5 Tienen boca pero no pueden hablar,
tienen ojos pero no pueden ver.
