Salmos 21

1 Oh Yavé, el rey se alegrará en tu poder, Y en tu salvación ¡cuánto se regocijará!

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 diste el deseo de su corazón Y no le retuviste 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 Con bendiciones de bien saliste a su encuentro. Corona de oro puro pusiste 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 Vida te pidió, Y se la concediste, Largura de días, eternamente y para siempre.

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

5 Grande es su gloria por tu salvación. Pusiste sobre él honor y majestad.

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

6 Lo bendijiste para siempre. Lo llenaste de alegría con tu Presencia

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 Yavé. Por la misericordia de ʼElyón, 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 alcanzará a todos tus enemigos. Tu mano derecha 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 Los pondrás en horno de fuego en el tiempo de tu ira. Yavé los deshará en su ira, Y el 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 Destruirás su producto de la tierra, Y su descendencia de entre los hijos de hombres.

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

11 Porque tramaron el mal contra Ti. Fraguaron un complot, Pero no prevalecerán.

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 Pues Tú les harás volver la espalda Al apuntar tu arco contra sus rostros.

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

13 ¡Engrandécete, oh Yavé, con tu fortaleza! Cantaremos y alabaremos tu poderío.

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