< 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.
El rey se alegra en tu poder. oh Señor; ¡Cuán grande es su deleite en tu salvación!
2 You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)
Le has dado el deseo de su corazón, y no has retenido la petición de sus labios. (Selah)
3 For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.
Porque tú vas delante de él con las bendiciones de los bienes; le pones una corona de oro fino en la cabeza.
4 He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.
Te pidió vida para toda la vida, y tú se la diste, larga vida por los siglos de los siglos.
5 His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.
Su gloria es grande en tu salvación; honor y majestad has puesto sobre él.
6 For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.
Porque lo has bendecido para siempre; le has dado alegría con tu presencia.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.
Porque el rey tiene fe en el Señor, y por la misericordia del Altísimo, no será conmovido.
8 Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.
Tu mano buscará a todos tus enemigos; tu diestra alcanzará todos los que están en tu contra.
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.
Los harás como un horno ardiente delante de ti; el Señor en su ira los pondrá fin, y serán quemados en el fuego destructor.
10 You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.
Su fruto será cortado de la tierra, y su simiente 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.
Porque intentaron el mal contra ti: tenían planes malvado en sus mentes, que no pudieron poner en práctica.
12 For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.
Pues tú los pondrás en fuga, cuando prepares las cuerdas de tu arco contra sus rostros.
13 Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.
¡Engrandecete, oh Señor! en tu fortaleza; así haremos canciones en alabanza y celebraremos tu poder.
