Tu que habitas en las aguas realizando tu querer
Tu carruaje son las nubes sobre viento es tu andar
Como llamas de fuego tus ministros tornaran
Tu fundaste la tierra y jamás se moverá
Cada monte cada valle colocaste en su lugar
Tu que envías las fuentes que hoy sacian nuestra sed
Bendice alma mía a Jehová
Jehová Dios mío, mucho te has engrandecido
Te has vestido de gloria y de magnificencia
Te cubres con la luz de tu amor.
Tu que reinas en los cielos con excelsa majestad
Y en el universo reinas con la gloria celestial
Si los astros obedecen a la voz de tu mandar
Quiero que hagas en mi vida tu perfecta voluntad.
