< Psalms 21 >
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. ALEGRARÁSE el rey en tu fortaleza, oh Jehová; y en tu salud se gozará mucho.
2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)
El deseo de su corazón le diste, y no le negaste lo que sus labios pronunciaron. (Selah)
3 For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
Pues le has salido al encuentro con bendiciones de bien: corona de oro fino has puesto sobre su cabeza.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it to him, even length of days for ever and ever.
Vida te demandó, [y] dístele largura de días por siglos y siglos.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
Grande es su gloria en tu salud: honra y majestad has puesto sobre él.
6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
Porque lo has bendecido para siempre; llenástelo de alegría con tu rostro.
7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
Por cuanto el rey confía en Jehová, y en la misericordia del Altísimo, no será conmovido.
8 Thy hand shall find out all thy enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
Alcanzará tu mano á todos tus enemigos; tu diestra alcanzará á los que te aborrecen.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thy anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
Ponerlos has como horno de fuego en el tiempo de tu ira: Jehová los deshará en su furor, y fuego los consumirá.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
Su fruto destruirás de la tierra, y su simiente de entre los hijos de los hombres.
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
Porque trazaron el mal contra ti: fraguaron maquinaciones, [mas] no prevalecerán.
12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thy arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
Pues tú los pondrás en fuga, [cuando] aparejares en tus cuerdas [las saetas] contra sus rostros.
13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thy own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
Ensálzate, oh Jehová, con tu fortaleza: cantaremos y alabaremos tu poderío.
