Salmos 21
1 Para el músico principal. Un salmo de David. ¡El rey se alegra de tu fuerza, Yahvé! ¡Cuánto se alegra de tu salvación!
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 Le has dado el deseo de su corazón, y no han retenido la petición de sus labios. (Selah)
You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Porque lo encuentras con las bendiciones de la bondad. Pusiste una corona de oro fino en su cabeza.
For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.
4 Te pidió la vida y se la diste, incluso la duración de los días por los siglos de los siglos.
He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.
5 Su gloria es grande en tu salvación. Le das honor y majestad.
His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.
6 Porque tú lo haces el más bendito para siempre. Lo alegras con tu presencia.
For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.
7 Porque el rey confía en Yahvé. Por la amorosa bondad del Altísimo, no será conmovido.
For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.
8 Tu mano descubrirá a todos tus enemigos. Tu mano derecha descubrirá a los que te odian.
Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.
9 Los harás como un horno de fuego en el momento de tu ira. Yahvé se los tragará en su ira. El fuego los devorará.
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 Destruirás a sus descendientes de la tierra, su posteridad 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 ellos pretenden el mal contra ti. Han tramado un mal contra ti que no puede tener éxito.
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 Porque los harás volver la espalda, cuando apuntas con los arcos a la cara.
Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.
13 Sé exaltado, Yahvé, en tu fuerza, por lo que cantaremos y alabaremos tu poder.
Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
