Salmos 21

Catholic Public Domain Version

1Unto the end. For the tasks of early morning. A Psalm of David.

2O God, my God, look upon me. Why have you forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my offenses.

3My God, I will cry out by day, and you will not heed, and by night, and it will not be foolishness for me.

4But you dwell in holiness, O Praise of Israel.

5In you, our fathers have hoped. They hoped, and you freed them.

6They cried out to you, and they were saved. In you, they hoped and were not confounded.

7But I am a worm and not a man: a disgrace among men, and an outcast of the people.

8All those who saw me have derided me. They have spoken with the lips and shook the head.

9He has hoped in the Lord, let him rescue him. Let him save him because he chooses him.

10For you are the one who has drawn me out of the womb, my hope from the breasts of my mother.

11I have been thrown upon you from the womb; from the womb of my mother, you are my God.

12Do not depart from me. For tribulation is near, since there is no one who may help me.

13Many calves have surrounded me; fat bulls have besieged me.

14They have opened their mouths over me, just like a lion seizing and roaring.

15And so, I have been poured out like water, and all my bones have been scattered. My heart has become like wax, melting in the midst of my chest.

16My strength has dried up like clay, and my tongue has adhered to my jaws. And you have pulled me down, into the dust of death.

17For many dogs have surrounded me. The council of the malicious has besieged me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

18They have numbered all my bones. And they have examined me and stared at me.

19They divided my garments among them, and over my vestment, they cast lots.

20But you, O Lord, do not take your help far from me; be attentive to my defense.

21O God, rescue my soul from the spear, and my only one from the hand of the dog.

22Save me from the mouth of the lion, and my humility from the horns of the single-horned beast.

23I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.

24You who fear the Lord, praise him. All the offspring of Jacob, glorify him.

25May all the offspring of Israel fear him. For he has neither spurned nor despised the pleas of the poor. Neither has he turned his face away from me. And when I cried out to him, he heeded me.

26My praise is with you, within a great church. I will pay my vows in the sight of those who fear him.

27The poor will eat and be satisfied, and those who yearn for the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will live forever and ever.

28All the ends of the earth will remember, and they will be converted to the Lord. And all the families of the Gentiles will adore in his sight.

29For the kingdom belongs to the Lord, and he will have dominion over the Gentiles.

30All the fat of the earth have gnashed their teeth, and they have adored. In his sight, they will fall down, all those who descend to the ground.

31And my soul will live for him, and my offspring will serve him.

32There will be announced for the Lord a future generation, and the heavens will announce his justice to a people who will be born, whom the Lord has made.

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.

World English Bible

1The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

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

3For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

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

5His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

6For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

7For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

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

9You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

10You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.

11For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

12For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

13Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
