Salmos 21

Reina-Valera 1960

Alabanza por haber sido librado del enemigo

Al músico principal. Salmo de David.

21 El rey se alegra en tu poder, oh Jehová;
Y en tu salvación, ¡cómo se goza!
2 Le has concedido el deseo de su corazón,
Y no le negaste la petición de sus labios. Selah
3 Porque le has salido al encuentro con bendiciones de bien;
Corona de oro fino has puesto sobre su cabeza.
4 Vida te demandó, y se la diste;
Largura de días eternamente y para siempre.
5 Grande es su gloria en tu salvación;
Honra y majestad has puesto sobre él.
6 Porque lo has bendecido para siempre;
Lo llenaste de alegría con tu presencia.
7 Por cuanto el rey confía en Jehová,
Y en la misericordia del Altísimo, no será conmovido.

8 Alcanzará tu mano a todos tus enemigos;
Tu diestra alcanzará a los que te aborrecen.
9 Los pondrás como horno de fuego en el tiempo de tu ira;
Jehová los deshará en su ira,
Y fuego los consumirá.
10 Su fruto destruirás de la tierra,
Y su descendencia de entre los hijos de los hombres.
11 Porque intentaron el mal contra ti;
Fraguaron maquinaciones, mas no prevalecerán,
12 Pues tú los pondrás en fuga;
En tus cuerdas dispondrás saetas contra sus rostros.

¹³Engrandécete, oh Jehová, en tu poder;

Cantaremos y alabaremos tu poderío.

Psalm 21

New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Psalm 21^[a]

Thanksgiving and Assurances for the King

¹For the leader. A psalm of David.

I

²Lord, the king finds joy in your power;^(A)
    in your victory how greatly he rejoices!
³You have granted him his heart’s desire;
    you did not refuse the request of his lips.
Selah
⁴For you welcomed him with goodly blessings;
    you placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
⁵He asked life of you;
    you gave it to him,
    length of days forever.^(B)
⁶Great is his glory in your victory;
    majesty and splendor you confer upon him.
⁷You make him the pattern of blessings forever,
    you gladden him with the joy of your face.
⁸For the king trusts in the Lord,
    stands firm through the mercy of the Most High.

II

⁹Your hand will find all your enemies;
    your right hand will find your foes!
¹⁰At the time of your coming
    you will make them a fiery furnace.
Then the Lord in his anger will consume them,
    devour them with fire.
¹¹Even their descendants you will wipe out from the earth,
    their offspring from the human race.
¹²Though they intend evil against you,
    devising plots, they will not succeed,
¹³For you will put them to flight;
    you will aim at their faces with your bow.

III

¹⁴Arise, Lord, in your power!^(C)
We will sing and chant the praise of your might.

Footnotes

Psalm 21 The first part of this royal Psalm is a thanksgiving (Ps 21:2–8), and the second is a promise that the king will triumph over his enemies (Ps 21:9–13). The king’s confident prayer (Ps 21:3–5) and trust in God (Ps 21:8) enable him to receive the divine gifts of vitality, peace, and military success. Ps 21:14 reprises Ps 21:2. When kings ceased in Israel after the sixth century B.C., the Psalm was sung of a future Davidic king.
