Salmos 21 · Depois da batalha

1For the leader. A psalm of David.

2O ETERNAL One, the king rejoices in Your strength;how greatly he exults in Your victory!

3You have granted him the desire of his heart,have not denied the request of his lips. Selah.

4You have proffered him blessings of good things,have set upon his head a crown of fine gold.

5He asked You for life; You granted it;a long life, everlasting.

6Great is his glory through Your victory;You have endowed him with splendor and majesty.

7You have made him blessed forever,gladdened him with the joy of Your presence.

8For the king trusts in GOD;through the faithfulness of the Most Highhe will not be shaken.

9Your hand is equal to all Your enemies;Your right hand overpowers Your foes.

10You set them ablaze like a furnacewhen You show Your presence. GOD in anger destroys them;fire consumes them.

11You wipe their offspring from the earth,their issue from among humankind.

12For they schemed against You;they laid plans,but could not succeed.

13For You make them turn back by Your bows aimed at their face.

14Be exalted, O ETERNAL One, through Your strength;we will sing and chant the praises of Your mighty deeds.
