Key D
Dichoso el pueblo escogido por Dios (2x)
Sincera la palabra del Señor
y todas sus acciones son leales.
El ama la justicia y el derecho,
la tierra llena esta de sus bondades.
Dichoso el pueblo escogido por Dios.
La palabra del Señor hizo los cielos
y su aliento los astros;
pues el Señor hablo y fue hecho todo;
lo mando con su voz y surgió el orbe.
Dichoso el pueblo escogido por Dios....
