Ações de graças pela vitória
Ao mestre de canto. Salmo de Davi

1 Na tua força, Senhor, o rei se alegra!

E como exulta com a tua salvação!

2 Satisfizeste-lhe o desejo do coração

e não lhe negaste as súplicas dos seus lábios.

3 Pois o supres das bênçãos de bondade;

pões-lhe na cabeça uma coroa de ouro puro.

4 Ele te pediu vida, e tu lha deste;

sim, longevidade para todo o sempre.

5 Grande lhe é a glória da tua salvação;

de esplendor e majestade o sobrevestiste.

6 Pois o puseste por bênção para sempre

e o encheste de gozo com a tua presença.

7 O rei confia no Senhor

e pela misericórdia do Altíssimo jamais vacilará.

8 A tua mão alcançará todos os teus inimigos,

a tua destra apanhará os que te odeiam.

9 Tu os tornarás como em fornalha ardente, quando te manifestares;

o Senhor, na sua indignação, os consumirá,

o fogo os devorará.

10 Destruirás da terra a sua posteridade

e a sua descendência, de entre os filhos dos homens.

11 Se contra ti intentarem o mal

e urdirem intrigas, não conseguirão efetuá-los;

12 porquanto lhes farás voltar as costas

e mirarás o rosto deles com o teu arco.

13 Exalta-te, Senhor, na tua força!

Nós cantaremos e louvaremos o teu poder.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah;

And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire,

And hast not withholden the request of his lips. [Selah

3 For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness:

Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him,

Even length of days for ever and ever.

5 His glory is great in thy salvation:

Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.

6 For thou makest him most blessed for ever:

Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.

7 For the king trusteth in Jehovah;

And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8 Thy hand will find out all thine enemies;

Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.

9 Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger:

Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath,

And the fire shall devour them.

10 Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth,

And their seed from among the children of men.

11 For they intended evil against thee;

They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

12 For thou wilt make them turn their back;

Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

13 Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength:

So will we sing and praise thy power.

1 O LORD, the king rejoices in your strength. How great is his joy in the victories you give!

2 You have granted him the desire of his heart and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

3 You welcomed him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

5 Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.

6 Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken.

8 Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes.

9 At the time of your appearing you will make them like a fiery furnace. In his wrath the LORD will swallow them up, and his fire will consume them.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from mankind.

11 Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed;

12 for you will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with drawn bow.

13 Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength; we will sing and praise your might.
