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, se la concediste:
    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;
    tu presencia lo ha llenado de alegría.

El rey confía en el Señor,
    en el gran amor del Altísimo;
    por eso jamás caerá.

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;
    de entre los mortales, a su posteridad.
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,
    y con salmos celebraremos tus proezas.

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.

A zenészek vezetőjének. Dávid zsoltára.

21 Örökkévaló, erődnek örül a király,
    ujjong, mert győzelemre segítetted.
Megadtad neki, amit szíve kívánt,
    ajkainak kérését teljesítetted. Szela

Bőségesen megáldottad őt,
    színarany koronát tettél fejére.
A király életet kért tőled, Örökkévaló, és megadtad,
    hosszú, sőt örökké tartó életet adtál neki!
Győzelemre vezetted a királyt,
    megnövelted hírnevét,
méltóságot és dicsőséget
    árasztottál rá bőségesen.
Áldottá, sőt áldássá tetted őt örökké,
    ujjong, hogy jelenlétedben élhet!
Igen, az Örökkévalóban bízik a király,
    s nem bukik el, mert védi a Felséges kegyelme.
Örökkévaló, bárcsak utolérné kezed minden ellenségedet,
    és elpusztítanád gyűlölőidet!
Mikor megjelensz, Örökkévaló,
    égesd el őket, mint a tüzes kemence,
    pusztítsd el őket, mint tűz a szalmát!
10 A gonoszoknak még a gyermekeit is pusztítsd el,
    utódaikat gyomláld ki az emberek közül!
11 Gonosz terveket szőttek ellened,
    álnok csapdákat készítettek, de hiába,
12 mert te, Örökkévaló,
    megkötözöd őket köteleiddel,
    nyilaiddal célba veszed őket.

13 Dicsérünk, Örökkévaló!
    Éneket éneklünk erődről,
    és zsoltárt hatalmadról!

21 The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

13 Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

Psalm 21[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

The king rejoices in your strength, Lord.(A)
    How great is his joy in the victories you give!(B)

You have granted him his heart’s desire(C)
    and have not withheld the request of his lips.[b]
You came to greet him with rich blessings
    and placed a crown of pure gold(D) on his head.(E)
He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—
    length of days, for ever and ever.(F)
Through the victories(G) you gave, his glory is great;
    you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.(H)
Surely you have granted him unending blessings
    and made him glad with the joy(I) of your presence.(J)
For the king trusts in the Lord;(K)
    through the unfailing love(L) of the Most High(M)
    he will not be shaken.(N)

Your hand will lay hold(O) on all your enemies;
    your right hand will seize your foes.
When you appear for battle,
    you will burn them up as in a blazing furnace.
The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath,
    and his fire will consume them.(P)
10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
    their posterity from mankind.(Q)
11 Though they plot evil(R) against you
    and devise wicked schemes,(S) they cannot succeed.
12 You will make them turn their backs(T)
    when you aim at them with drawn bow.

13 Be exalted(U) in your strength, Lord;(V)
    we will sing and praise your might.
