Salmos 103:16-22

16 El viento sopla, y desaparecemos
como si nunca hubiéramos estado aquí.

17 Pero el amor del Señor
permanece para siempre
con los que le temen.
¡Su salvación se extiende a los hijos de los hijos

18 de los que son fieles a su pacto,
de los que obedecen sus mandamientos!

19 El Señor
ha hecho de los cielos su trono,
desde allí gobierna todo.

20 Alaben al Señor
, ustedes los ángeles,
ustedes los poderosos que llevan a cabo sus planes,
que están atentos a cada uno de sus mandatos.

21 ¡Sí, alaben al Señor
, ejércitos de ángeles
que le sirven y hacen su voluntad!

22 Alabe al Señor
todo lo que él ha creado,
todo lo que hay en su reino.
Que todo lo que soy, alabe al Señor
.

Salmos 103:16-22 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 103

\\<>\\. The Targum adds, ``spoken in prophecy,'' as doubtless it was, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Some think it was written by David, after a fit of illness, and his recovery from it, since he speaks of his diseases being healed, and his youth renewed; for which reason the Syriac interpreter suggests it was written in his old age; for he makes the subject of the psalm to be, ``concerning coldness which prevailed upon him in old age;'' but rather he wrote it when his heart was warm with a sense of the love of God, and spiritual blessings of grace flowing from thence; and in it celebrates and sings the benefits of New Testament times; and it is a psalm suitable to be sung by every believer, under a quick sense of divine favours: wherefore the above interpreter better adds, ``also an instruction and thanksgiving by men of God;'' whom the psalmist may very well be thought to personate, even in Gospel times; and much rather than the Jews in captivity, as Kimchi thinks.
