21 耶和華啊!王因你的力量快樂,

因你的救恩大大歡呼。

他心裡所願的,你賜給了他;

他嘴唇所求的,你沒有拒絕。(細拉)

你以美福迎接他,

把精金的冠冕戴在他頭上。

他向你求壽,你就賜給他,

就是長久的日子,直到永遠。

他因你的救恩大有榮耀,

你又把尊榮和威嚴加給他。

你把永遠的福分賜給他,

又使他因與你同在的喜樂歡欣。

王倚靠耶和華,

靠著至高者的慈愛,他必不至動搖。

你的手要搜出你所有的仇敵,

你的右手必搜出那些恨你的人。

你出現的時候,就要使他們像熾熱的火爐;

耶和華必在他的震怒中吞滅他們,火必燒滅他們。

10 你必從地上除滅他們的子孫,

從人間除滅他們的後裔。

11 雖然他們定下惡計害你,

他們所設的陰謀卻不能成功。

12 你的箭扣上弦,對準他們的臉的時候,

他們必轉身而逃。

13 耶和華啊!願你因自己的能力被尊崇,

好讓我們歌唱,頌讚你的大能。

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!

Le has concedido el deseo de su corazón,

Y no le negaste la petición de sus labios. Selah

Porque le has salido al encuentro con bendiciones de bien;

Corona de oro fino has puesto sobre su cabeza.

Vida te demandó, y se la diste;

Largura de días eternamente y para siempre.

Grande es su gloria en tu salvación;

Honra y majestad has puesto sobre él.

Porque lo has bendecido para siempre;

Lo llenaste de alegría con tu presencia.

Por cuanto el rey confía en Jehová,

Y en la misericordia del Altísimo, no será conmovido.

Alcanzará tu mano a todos tus enemigos;

Tu diestra alcanzará a los que te aborrecen.

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.

13 Engrandécete, oh Jehová, en tu poder;

Cantaremos y alabaremos tu poderío.

Psalm 21

The King’s Victory

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.

Lord, the king finds joy in Your strength.
How greatly he rejoices in Your victory!(A)
You have given him his heart’s desire(B)
and have not denied the request of his lips.(C)Selah
For You meet him with rich blessings;
You place a crown of pure gold on his head.(D)
He asked You for life, and You gave it to him—
length of days forever and ever.(E)
His glory is great through Your victory;
You confer majesty and splendor on him.(F)
You give him blessings forever;(G)
You cheer him with joy in Your presence.(H)
For the king relies on the Lord;
through the faithful love of the Most High
he is not shaken.(I)

Your hand will capture all your enemies;
your right hand will seize those who hate you.(J)
You will make them burn
like a fiery furnace when you appear;
the Lord will engulf them in His wrath,
and fire will devour them.(K)
10 You will wipe their descendants from the earth
and their offspring from the human race.(L)
11 Though they intend to harm[a] you
and devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail.(M)
12 Instead, you will put them to flight
when you aim your bow[b] at their faces.(N)

13 Be exalted, Lord, in Your strength;
we will sing and praise Your might.(O)
