Salmos 21

1 Jehová, en tu fortaleza se alegrará el rey; y en tu salud se regocijará mucho.

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!

2 El deseo de su corazón le diste; y no le negaste lo que sus labios pronunciaron. (Selah)

You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 Por tanto le adelantarás en bendiciones de bien: corona de oro fino has puesto sobre su cabeza.

For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.

4 Vida te demandó, se la diste: longura de días, por siglo y siglo.

He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.

5 Grande es su gloria en tu salud: honra y hermosura has puesto sobre él.

His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.

6 Porque le has bendecido para siempre: alegrástele de alegría con tu rostro.

For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.

7 Por cuanto el rey confía en Jehová: y en la misericordia del Altísimo no titubeará.

For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.

8 Alcanzará tu mano a todos tus enemigos: tu diestra alcanzará a los que te aborrecen.

Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.

9 Ponerlos has como horno de fuego en el tiempo de tu ira: Jehová los deshará en su furor, y fuego los consumirá.

You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.

10 Su fruto destruirás de la tierra: y su simiente de entre los hijos de los hombres.

Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

11 Porque tendieron mal contra ti: maquinaron maquinación, mas no prevalecieron.

For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.

12 Por tanto ponerlos has a parte: con tus cuerdas apuntarás a sus rostros.

Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.

13 Ensálzate, o! Jehová, con tu fortaleza: cantaremos y alabaremos tu valentía.

Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
