Psalms 21

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

Al maestro de coro. Salmo de David. Oh Yahvé, de tu poder se goza el rey, y está lleno de alegría por tu auxilio.

2 You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

Cumpliste el anhelo de su corazón, y no frustraste la petición de sus labios.

3 For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

Lo previniste con faustas bendiciones, corona de oro puro pusiste en su cabeza.

4 He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.

Te pidió la vida y le has dado días que durarán por los siglos de los siglos.

5 His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

Gracias a tu socorro es grande su gloria; lo colmaste de honor y de magnificencia.

6 For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

Porque has hecho que él sea una bendición para siempre, y lo has llenado de alegría con el gozo de tu vista.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

Pues el rey confía en Yahvé, y merced al Altísimo no será conmovido.

8 Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

Descargue tu mano sobre todos tus enemigos; alcance tu diestra a los que te aborrecen.

9 You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

Cuando tu rostro aparezca los pondrás como en un horno encendido. El Señor los destruirá en su ira, y el fuego los devorará.

10 You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

Quita de la tierra su descendencia, y su raza de entre los hijos de los hombres.

11 For they intended evils against you; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

Y si dirigen sus malas artes contra Ti y maquinan insidias, nada podrán.

12 For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

Porque Tú los pondrás en fuga al dirigir tu arco hacia su rostro.

13 Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.

Levántate, Yahvé, en tu poderío, y con salmos celebraremos tus hazañas.
