Salmos 21

1 En tu fuerza, Señor,
se regocija el rey; ¡cuánto se alegra en tus *victorias! 2 Le has concedido lo que su *corazón desea;
no le has negado lo que sus labios piden. *Selah 3 Has salido a su encuentro con ricas bendiciones;
lo has coronado con diadema de oro fino. 4 Te pidió vida, se la concediste:
una vida larga y duradera. 5 Por tus victorias se acrecentó su gloria;
lo revestiste de honor y majestad. 6 Has hecho de él manantial de bendiciones;
tu presencia lo ha llenado de alegría. 7 El rey confía en el Señor,
en el gran amor del *Altísimo; por eso jamás caerá. 8 Tu mano alcanzará a todos tus enemigos;
tu diestra alcanzará a los que te aborrecen. 9 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.

PSALMS 21

Thanking the [Lord] //for Victory

1 Our [Lord], your mighty power
makes the king glad,
and he celebrates victories
that you have given him.

2 You did what he wanted most
and never told him “No.”

3 You truly blessed the king,
and you placed on him
a crown of finest gold.

4 He asked to live a long time,
and you promised him life
that never ends.

5 The king is highly honored.
You have let him win victories
that have made him famous.

6 You have given him blessings
that will last forever,
and you have made him glad
by being so near to him.

7 [Lord] Most High,
the king trusts you,
and your kindness
keeps him from defeat.

8 With your mighty arm, [Lord],
you will strike down all
of your hateful enemies.

9 They will be destroyed by fire
once you are here,
and because of your anger,
flames will swallow them.

10 You will wipe their families
from the earth,
and they will disappear.

11 All their plans to harm you
will come to nothing.

12 You will make them run away
by shooting your arrows
at their faces.

13 Show your strength, [Lord],
so that we may sing
and praise your power.
