Salmo de David. Para o diretor do coro.

21 O rei alegra-se na tua força, Senhor,
e regozija-se enormemente na tua salvação.

Porque lhe concedeste o desejo do seu coração
e não recusaste atender à súplica que te dirigiu. (Pausa)
Na tua bondade, deste-lhe prosperidade;
puseste na sua cabeça uma coroa de ouro fino.
Pediu-te vida e deste-lha;
uma vida prolongada até à eternidade.
Foi grandemente honrado com a tua salvação;
vestiste-o de esplendor e majestade.
Deste-lhe uma felicidade eterna;
tu o enches de gozo com a tua presença.
Porque o rei confia no Senhor;
pela misericórdia do Altíssimo,
ele nunca tropeçará.

A tua mão, Senhor, alcançará os teus inimigos
e todos os que te querem mal.
Quando apareceres,
serão destruídos como um forno aceso;
o fogo da indignação do Senhor os consumirá.
10 Destruirás a sua posteridade de sobre a Terra
e os seus filhos desaparecerão de entre a humanidade.
11 Pois tramaram o mal contra ti;
pensaram em ardis para te prejudicarem,
mas sem a possibilidade de qualquer sucesso.
12 Portanto, os farás dar meia-volta e fugir,
quando virem as tuas flechas apontadas contra eles.

13 Senhor, seja grande a tua força
e cantaremos e louvaremos o teu poder.

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.

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.
