Salmos 21

1 El rey se alegra en tu poder. oh Señor; ¡Cuán grande es su deleite en 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 has 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 tú vas delante de él con las bendiciones de los bienes; le pones una corona de oro fino en la 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 vida para toda la vida, y tú se la diste, larga vida 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; honor y majestad has puesto sobre él.

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

6 Porque lo has bendecido para siempre; le has dado 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 Porque el rey tiene fe en el Señor, y por la misericordia 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 buscará a todos tus enemigos; tu diestra alcanzará todos los que están en tu contra.

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 ardiente delante de ti; el Señor en su ira los pondrá fin, y serán quemados en el fuego destructor.

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 Su fruto será cortado de la tierra, y su simiente 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 intentaron el mal contra ti: tenían planes malvado en sus mentes, que no pudieron poner en práctica.

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 los pondrás en fuga, cuando prepares las cuerdas de tu arco contra sus rostros.

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

13 ¡Engrandecete, oh Señor! en tu fortaleza; así haremos canciones en alabanza y celebraremos tu poder.

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