Salmos 21
Bible in Basic English
1The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!
2You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah.)
3For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.
4He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.
5His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.
6For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.
7For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.
8Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.
9You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.
10Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.
12Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.
13Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. ALEGRARÁSE el rey en tu fortaleza, oh Jehová; y en tu salud se gozará mucho.
2El deseo de su corazón le diste, y no le negaste lo que sus labios pronunciaron. (Selah.)
3Pues le has salido al encuentro con bendiciones de bien: corona de oro fino has puesto sobre su cabeza.
4Vida te demandó, y dístele largura de días por siglos y siglos.
5Grande es su gloria en tu salud: honra y majestad has puesto sobre él.
6Porque lo has bendecido para siempre; llenástelo de alegría con tu rostro.
7Por cuanto el rey confía en Jehová, y en la misericordia del Altísimo, no será conmovido.
8Alcanzará tu mano á todos tus enemigos; tu diestra alcanzará á los que te aborrecen.
9Ponerlos has como horno de fuego en el tiempo de tu ira: Jehová los deshará en su furor, y fuego los consumirá.
10Su fruto destruirás de la tierra, y su simiente de entre los hijos de los hombres.
11Porque trazaron el mal contra ti: fraguaron maquinaciones, mas no prevalecerán.
12Pues tú los pondrás en fuga, cuando aparejares en tus cuerdas las saetas contra sus rostros.
13Ensálzate, oh Jehová, con tu fortaleza: cantaremos y alabaremos tu poderío.
King James Version
1The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
3For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
5His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
6For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9Thou 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.
10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
