Salmos 21

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” The king rejoiceth in thy strength, O LORD! Yea, he doth greatly exult in thy protection.

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

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not denied him the request of his lips. (Pause)

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

Yea, thou hast met him with rich blessings, Thou hast placed a crown of pure gold upon his head.

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

He asked life of thee; thou gavest it him; Even long life, enduring for ever.

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

Great is his glory through thine aid; Honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

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

Thou hast made him blessed for evermore; Thou hast made him glad with the joy of thy countenance.

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

For the king trusteth in the LORD; And through the goodness of the Most High he shall never fall.

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

Thy hand shall overtake all thine enemies; Thy right hand shall overtake them that hate thee.

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

Thou wilt make them like a burning oven in the time of thine anger; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them.

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

Their offspring shalt thou destroy from the earth, And their posterity from the sons of men.

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

For they spread a net of mischief against thee; They devised plots against thee, but they did not prevail.

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

Therefore thou wilt cause them to turn their backs; Thou wilt make ready thine arrows upon the strings against them.

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

Exalt thyself, O LORD! by thy strength! So will we sing, and praise thy mighty deeds.
