1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.

2 \21:1\The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!

3 \21:2\You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah.)

4 \21:3\For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.

5 \21:4\He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.

6 \21:5\His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.

7 \21:6\For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.

8 \21:7\For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.

9 \21:8\Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.

10 \21:9\You 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.

11 \21:10\Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

12 \21:11\For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.

13 \21:12\Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.

14 \21:13\Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.

1 Na tua força, ó Senhor, o rei se alegra; e na tua salvação quão grandemente se regozija!

2 Concedeste-lhe o desejo do seu coração, e não lhe negaste a petição dos seus lábios.

3 Pois o proveste de bênçãos excelentes; puseste-lhe na cabeça uma coroa de ouro fino.

4 Vida te pediu, e lha deste, longura de dias para sempre e eternamente.

5 Grande é a sua glória pelo teu socorro; de honra e de majestade o revestes.

6 Sim, tu o fazes para sempre abençoado; tu o enches de gozo na tua presença.

7 Pois o rei confia no Senhor; e pela bondade do Altíssimo permanecerá inabalável.

8 A tua mão alcançará todos os teus inimigos, a tua destra alcançará todos os que te odeiam.

9 Tu os farás qual fornalha ardente quando vieres; o Senhor os consumirá na sua indignação, e o fogo os devorará.

10 A sua prole destruirás da terra, e a sua descendência dentre os filhos dos homens.

11 Pois intentaram o mal contra ti; maquinaram um ardil, mas não prevalecerão.

12 Porque tu os porás em fuga; contra os seus rostos assestarás o teu arco.

13 Exalta-te, Senhor, na tua força; então cantaremos e louvaremos o teu poder.
