Psalm 21 | English Standard Version

The King Rejoices in the Lord’s Strength

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O Lord, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he exults!

2 You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

3 For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.

4 He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever and ever.

5 His glory is great through your salvation; splendor and majesty you bestow on him.

6 For you make him most blessed forever;* you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8 Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you.

9 You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath, and fire will consume them.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of man.

11 Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.

12 For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows.

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

La Biblia Textual

Al director del coro. Salmo de David.

1 Oh YHVH, el rey se alegra en tu poder, Y en tu salvación ¡cuánto se regocija!

2 Le diste el deseo de su corazón, Y no le negaste la petición de sus labios. Selah

3 Con bendiciones escogidas saliste a su encuentro, Y colocaste en su cabeza una corona de oro fino.

4 Vida te pidió, y se la concediste, Largura de días, eternamente y para siempre.

5 Grande es su gloria por tu salvación, Has puesto sobre él honra y majestad.

6 Lo has bendecido para siempre. Lo llenaste de alegría con tu presencia.

7 Por cuanto el rey confía en YHVH, Por la misericordia de ’Elyón, no será conmovido.

8 Tu mano alcanzará a todos tus enemigos, Tu diestra alcanzará a los que te aborrecen.

9 Los convertirás en horno abrasador en el tiempo de tu ira, YHVH los tragará en su ira, y el fuego los consumirá.

10 Destruirás su fruto de la tierra, Y su simiente de entre los hijos del hombre.

11 Porque tramaron el mal contra ti, Fraguaron artificios, pero no prevalecerán.

12 Pues los harás huir con tus arcos, Apuntarás contra sus rostros.

13 ¡Engrandécete, oh YHVH, con tu fortaleza! Cantaremos y alabaremos tu poderío.
