12 Jerusalén, alaba al Señor;
Sión, alaba a tu Dios.
13 Pues él reforzó los cerrojos de tus puertas
y bendijo a tus hijos dentro de la ciudad.
14 Él trae la paz a tu territorio
y te satisface con lo mejor del trigo.
15 Él envía su palabra a la tierra,
y su palabra corre a toda prisa.
16 Él produce la nieve como si fuera lana,
y esparce la escarcha como si fuera polvo.
17 Él envía el hielo en forma de granizo;
con el frío que envía, el agua se congela.
18 Pero envía su palabra, y la derrite;
hace soplar el viento, y el agua corre.
19 Él dio a conocer a Jacob, a Israel,
su palabra, sus leyes y decretos.
20 No hizo lo mismo con las otras naciones,
las cuales nunca conocieron sus decretos.

¡Aleluya!

¹³  Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
          break forth, O mountains, into singing!
     For the LORD has comforted his people,
          and will have compassion on his suffering ones.

¹⁴  But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me,
          my Lord has forgotten me.”
¹⁵  Can a woman forget her nursing child,
          or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
     Even these may forget,
          yet I will not forget you.
¹⁶  See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
          your walls are continually before me.
¹⁷  Your builders outdo your destroyers,
          and those who laid you waste go away from you.
¹⁸  Lift up your eyes all around and see;
          they all gather, they come to you.
     As I live, says the LORD,
          you shall put all of them on like an ornament,
          and like a bride you shall bind them on.

¹⁹  Surely your waste and your desolate places
          and your devastated land —
     surely now you will be too crowded for your inhabitants,
          and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
²⁰  The children born in the time of your bereavement
          will yet say in your hearing:
     “The place is too crowded for me;
          make room for me to settle.”
²¹  Then you will say in your heart,
          “Who has borne me these?
     I was bereaved and barren,
          exiled and put away —
          so who has reared these?
     I was left all alone —
          where then have these come from?”

²²  Thus says the Lord GOD:
     I will soon lift up my hand to the nations,
          and raise my signal to the peoples;
     and they shall bring your sons in their bosom,
          and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
²³  Kings shall be your foster fathers,
          and their queens your nursing mothers.
     With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,
          and lick the dust of your feet.
     Then you will know that I am the LORD;
          those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.

²⁴  Can the prey be taken from the mighty,
          or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?
²⁵  But thus says the LORD:
     Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken,
     for I will contend with those who contend with you,
          and I will save your children.
²⁶  I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,
          and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine.
     Then all flesh shall know
          that I am the LORD your Savior,
          and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

¹You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly exhibited as crucified! ²The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law or by believing what you heard? ³Are you so foolish? Having started with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh? ⁴Did you experience so much for nothing? — if it really was for nothing. ⁵Well then, does God supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you by your doing the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?

⁶Just as Abraham “believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” ⁷so, you see, those who believe are the descendants of Abraham. ⁸And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, declared the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the Gentiles shall be blessed in you.” ⁹For this reason, those who believe are blessed with Abraham who believed.

¹⁰For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the things written in the book of the law.” ¹¹Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law; for “The one who is righteous will live by faith.” ¹²But the law does not rest on faith; on the contrary, “Whoever does the works of the law will live by them.” ¹³Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us — for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree” — ¹⁴in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

³⁰The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. ³¹He said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. ³²And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. ³³Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. ³⁴As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. ³⁵When it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now very late; ³⁶send them away so that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy something for themselves to eat.” ³⁷But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?” ³⁸And he said to them, “How many loaves have you? Go and see.” When they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” ³⁹Then he ordered them to get all the people to sit down in groups on the green grass. ⁴⁰So they sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties. ⁴¹Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all. ⁴²And all ate and were filled; ⁴³and they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. ⁴⁴Those who had eaten the loaves numbered five thousand men.

⁴⁵Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. ⁴⁶After saying farewell to them, he went up on the mountain to pray.

(1) Del maestro de coro, con la cítara de Gat. De Asaf.
1 (2) ¡Canten alegres a Dios, que es nuestra fuerza!
¡Alaben con gritos de alegría al Dios de Jacob!
2 (3) Canten al son del pandero,
de la dulce arpa y del salterio.
3 (4) Toquen la trompeta al llegar la luna nueva,
y también al llegar la luna llena,
que es el día de nuestra gran fiesta.
4 (5) Porque éste es el mandamiento
que el Dios de Jacob dio a Israel;
5 (6) es el mandato dado a José
cuando Dios salió contra Egipto.

Oí una voz que yo no conocía:
6 (7) «Te he quitado la carga de los hombros,
te he aliviado del trabajo duro.
7 (8) En tu angustia me llamaste, y te salvé;
te contesté desde la nube que tronaba;
te puse a prueba junto a las aguas de Meribá.
8 (9) Escucha, pueblo mío, mi advertencia;
¡ojalá me obedezcas, Israel!
9 (10) No tengas dioses extranjeros;
no adores dioses extraños.
10 (11) Yo soy el Señor, tu Dios,
el que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto;
abre tu boca, y yo te satisfaré.

11 (12) »Pero mi pueblo no quiso oírme;
¡Israel no quiso obedecerme!
12 (13) Por eso los dejé seguir con su capricho,
y vivieron como mejor les pareció.
13 (14) ¡Si mi pueblo me hubiera escuchado!
¡Si Israel hubiera seguido mis caminos,
14 (15) en un abrir y cerrar de ojos
yo habría humillado a sus enemigos
y castigado a sus contrarios!»

15 (16) Los que odian al Señor caerían aterrados,
y su condenación quedaría sellada.
16 (17) Dios alimentaría a su pueblo con lo mejor del trigo,
y con miel silvestre apagaría su sed.

1 Amo al Señor porque ha escuchado mis súplicas,
2 porque me ha prestado atención.
¡Toda mi vida lo invocaré!
3 La muerte me enredó en sus lazos,
la angustia del sepulcro me alcanzó
y me hallé preso del miedo y del dolor.
4 Entonces invoqué el nombre del Señor
y le rogué que me salvara la vida.

5 El Señor es justo y compasivo;
nuestro Dios es todo ternura.
6 El Señor cuida de los sencillos.
Cuando yo estaba sin fuerzas, me salvó.
7 Ahora sí, puedo volver a sentirme tranquilo
porque el Señor ha sido bueno conmigo,
8 porque me ha librado de la muerte,
porque me ha librado de llorar y de caer.
9 Seré obediente al Señor
en el mundo de los que viven.

10 Yo tenía fe, a pesar de que decía
que era grande mi aflicción.
11 Desesperado, afirmé
que todo hombre es mentiroso.

12 ¿Cómo podré pagar al Señor
todo el bien que me ha hecho?
13 ¡Levantaré la copa de la salvación
e invocaré su nombre!
14 Cumpliré mis promesas al Señor
en presencia de todo su pueblo.

15 Mucho le cuesta al Señor
ver morir a los que lo aman.
16 ¡Oh Señor, yo soy tu siervo!
¡Yo soy el hijo de tu sierva!
Tú has roto los lazos que me ataban.
17 En gratitud, te ofreceré sacrificios,
e invocaré, Señor, tu nombre.
18 Cumpliré mis promesas al Señor
en presencia de todo su pueblo,
19 en los atrios del templo del Señor,
¡en medio de ti, Jerusalén!

¡Aleluya!
