The King Rejoices in the Lord's Strength

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

21 O Lord, in your (A)strength the king rejoices,
    and in your (B)salvation how greatly he exults!
You have (C)given him his heart's desire
    and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
For you (D)meet him with rich blessings;
    you set (E)a crown of (F)fine gold upon his head.
He asked life of you; you (G)gave it to him,
    (H)length of days forever and ever.
His (I)glory is great through your salvation;
    (J)splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
For you make him most blessed forever;[a]
    you make him glad with the (K)joy of your presence.
For the king trusts in the Lord,
    and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be (L)moved.

Your hand will (M)find out all your enemies;
    your right hand will find out those who hate you.
You will make them as (N)a blazing oven
    when you appear.
The Lord will swallow them up in his (O)wrath,
    and (P)fire will consume them.
10 You (Q)will destroy their (R)descendants from the earth,
    and their offspring from among the children of man.
11 Though they plan evil against you,
    though they (S)devise mischief, they will not succeed.
12 For you will put them (T)to flight;
    you will (U)aim at their faces with your bows.

13 Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength!
    We will sing and praise your power.

  1. Psalm 21:6 Or make him a source of blessing forever

Al director musical. Salmo de David.

21 En tu fuerza, Señor, se regocija el rey;
    ¡cuánto se alegra en tus victorias!

Le has concedido lo que su corazón desea;
    no le has negado lo que sus labios piden. Selah
Has salido a su encuentro con ricas bendiciones;
    lo has coronado con diadema de oro fino.
Te pidió vida y se la concediste.
    Le diste una vida larga y duradera.
Por tus victorias se acrecentó su gloria;
    lo revestiste de honor y majestad.
Has hecho de él manantial de bendiciones continuas;
    tu presencia lo ha llenado de alegría.
El rey confía en el Señor;
    por el gran amor del Altísimo,
    no caerá jamás.

Tu mano alcanzará a todos tus enemigos;
    tu diestra alcanzará a los que te aborrecen.
Cuando tú, Señor, te manifiestes,
    los convertirás en un horno encendido.
En su ira los devorará el Señor;
    un fuego los consumirá.
10 Borrarás de la tierra a su simiente;
    a sus descendientes de entre la humanidad.
11 Aunque tramen hacerte daño
    y maquinen perversidades,
    no se saldrán con la suya.
12 Porque tú los harás retroceder
    cuando tenses tu arco contra ellos.

13 Enaltécete, Señor, con tu poder.
    ¡Nosotros entonaremos salmos y cantaremos tus proezas!
