Salmo-115

The song 'Salmo-115' by Canciones Religiosas is a religious hymn that expresses deep gratitude and faith in God. The lyrics reflect a personal testimony of someone who has experienced God's mercy and deliverance from despair. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the speaker expressing love for the Lord because He listens to their pleas and is attentive to their calls for help. This establishes a relationship of trust and intimacy between the speaker and the divine.

As the song progresses, the speaker recounts the trials they faced, such as the 'lazos de la muerte' (bonds of death) and the 'redes del abismo' (nets of the abyss), which are metaphors for life-threatening or deeply troubling situations. The speaker acknowledges their state of anguish and sadness, yet also testifies to calling upon the Lord for salvation. This narrative of being saved from dire circumstances reinforces the themes of divine justice, compassion, and protection, especially for the humble and downtrodden.

The latter part of the song shifts to a vow of continued faith and service. The speaker speaks of lifting the 'copa de la salvación' (cup of salvation) and fulfilling their vows to the Lord in the presence of the community. This act symbolizes both a celebration of deliverance and a commitment to live a life of gratitude and obedience. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the importance of public acknowledgment of God's goodness and the speaker's dedication to their faith.
