Joy in the Salvation of the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

21 The king shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord;
And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
You have given him his heart’s desire,
And have not withheld the (A)request of his lips. Selah

For You meet him with the blessings of goodness;
You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
(B)He asked life from You, and You gave it to him—
Length of days forever and ever.
His glory is great in Your salvation;
Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.
For You have made him most blessed forever;
(C)You have made him [a]exceedingly glad with Your presence.
For the king trusts in the Lord,
And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be [b]moved.

Your hand will find all Your enemies;
Your right hand will find those who hate You.
You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger;
The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath,
And the fire shall devour them.
10 Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth,
And their [c]descendants from among the sons of men.
11 For they intended evil against You;
They devised a plot which they are not able to (D)perform.
12 Therefore You will make them turn their back;
You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.

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

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.

21 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid) Melech shall have simcha in Thy strength, Hashem; and in Thy Yeshuah (salvation) how greatly shall he rejoice!

(3) Thou hast given him the desire of his lev, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

(4) For Thou meeteth him with the birkhot tov; Thou settest an ateret of pure gold on his head.

(5) He asked Chayyim of Thee, and Thou gavest it him, even length of yamim olam va’ed [see 1C 15:4; Ps 16:10];

(6) Gadol is his kavod in Thy Yeshuah (salvation); hod v’hadar hast Thou bestowed upon him.

(7) For Thou hast made him birkhot forever; Thou hast made him exceeding glad with simcha in Thy presence.

(8) For HaMelech trusteth in Hashem, and through the chesed of Elyon he shall not be moved.

(9) Thine yad shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

(10) Thou shalt make them like an oven of eish in the time of thine presence; Hashem shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the eish shall devour them.

10 (11) Their fruit shalt Thou destroy from ha’aretz, and their zera from among Bnei Adam.

11 (12) For they intended ra’ah against Thee; they devised a plot, which they are not able to perform.

12 (13) Ki (therefore) shalt Thou make them turn their backs, when Thou shalt aim Thine bowstrings at their faces.

13 (14) Be Thou exalted, Hashem, in Thine Own Strength; so will we sing and praise Thy gevurah (power).
