Salmos 21

1 El rey se alegra en tu poder. oh Señor; ¡Cuán grande es su deleite en tu salvación!

For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

2 Le has dado el deseo de su corazón, y no has retenido la petición de sus labios. (Selah)

You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

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 have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

4 Te pidió vida para toda la vida, y tú se la diste, larga vida por los siglos de los siglos.

He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days 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: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

6 Porque lo has bendecido para siempre; le has dado alegría con tu presencia.

For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

7 Porque el rey tiene fe en el Señor, y por la misericordia del Altísimo, no será conmovido.

For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

8 Tu mano buscará a todos tus enemigos; tu diestra alcanzará todos los que están en tu contra.

Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate 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 shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

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

You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [amongst] the sons of men.

11 Porque intentaron el mal contra ti: tenían planes malvado en sus mentes, que no pudieron poner en práctica.

For they intended evils against you; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

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

For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

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

Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.
