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.

Al Músico principal: Salmo de David.

21 ALEGRARÁSE el rey en tu fortaleza, oh Jehová;

Y en tu salud se gozará mucho.

El deseo de su corazón le diste,

Y no le negaste lo que sus labios pronunciaron. (Selah.)

Pues le has salido al encuentro con bendiciones de bien:

Corona de oro fino has puesto sobre su cabeza.

Vida te demandó, y dístele

Largura de días por siglos y siglos.

Grande es su gloria en tu salud:

Honra y majestad has puesto sobre él.

Porque lo has bendecido para siempre;

Llenástelo de alegría con tu rostro.

Por cuanto el rey confía en Jehová,

Y en la misericordia del Altísimo, no será conmovido.

Alcanzará tu mano á todos tus enemigos;

Tu diestra alcanzará á los que te aborrecen.

Ponerlos has como horno de fuego en el tiempo de tu ira:

Jehová los deshará en su furor,

Y fuego los consumirá.

10 Su fruto destruirás de la tierra,

Y su simiente de entre los hijos de los hombres.

11 Porque trazaron el mal contra ti:

Fraguaron maquinaciones, mas no prevalecerán.

12 Pues tú los pondrás en fuga,

Cuando aparejares en tus cuerdas las saetas contra sus rostros.

13 Ensálzate, oh Jehová, con tu fortaleza:

Cantaremos y alabaremos tu poderío.
