Salmos 21

1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. ALEGRARÁSE el rey en tu fortaleza, oh Jehová; y en tu salud se gozará mucho.

For the leader. A psalm of David. The king rejoices, Lord, in your might, how he exults because of your help!

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

You have granted to him his heart’s desire, you have not withheld his lips’ request. (Selah)

3 Pues le has salido al encuentro con bendiciones de bien: corona de oro fino has puesto sobre su cabeza.

You came to meet him with rich blessings, you set on his head a golden crown.

4 Vida te demandó, [y] dístele largura de días por siglos y siglos.

He asked you for life, you gave it – many long days, forever and ever.

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

Great is his glory because of your help, honour and majesty you lay upon him.

6 Porque lo has bendecido para siempre; llenástelo de alegría con tu rostro.

For you make him most blessed forever, you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

7 Por cuanto el rey confía en Jehová, y en la misericordia del Altísimo, no será conmovido.

For the king puts always his trust in the Lord; the Most High, in his love, will preserve him unshaken.

8 Alcanzará tu mano á todos tus enemigos; tu diestra alcanzará á los que te aborrecen.

Your hand will reach all your foes, your right hand, all who hate you.

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

You will make them like a furnace of fire, when you appear, Lord. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire will devour them.

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

You will sweep their offspring from the earth, their children from humanity.

11 Porque trazaron el mal contra ti: fraguaron maquinaciones, [mas] no prevalecerán.

When they scheme against you and hatch evil plots – they will fail.

12 Pues tú los pondrás en fuga, [cuando] aparejares en tus cuerdas [las saetas] contra sus rostros.

For you aim your bow at their faces, make them turn in flight.

13 Ensálzate, oh Jehová, con tu fortaleza: cantaremos y alabaremos tu poderío.

Be exalted, Lord, in your strength, to your might we shall sing and make music.
