1 Ao mestre de canto. Salmo de Davi. Senhor, alegra-se o rei com o vosso poder, e muito exulta com o vosso auxílio!2 Realizastes os anseios de seu coração, não rejeitastes a prece de seus lábios.3 Com preciosas bênçãos fostes-lhe ao encontro, pusestes-lhe na cabeça coroa de puríssimo ouro.4 Ele vos pediu a vida, vós lha concedestes, uma vida cujos dias serão eternos.5 Grande é a sua glória, devida à vossa proteção; vós o cobristes de majestade e esplendor.6 Sim, fizestes dele o objeto de vossas eternas bênçãos, de alegria o cobristes com a vossa presença,7 pois o rei confiou no Senhor. Graças ao Altíssimo não será abalado.8 Que tua mão, ó rei, apanhe teus inimigos, que tua mão atinja os que te odeiam.9 Tu os tornarás como fornalha ardente, quando apareceres diante deles. Que o Senhor em sua cólera os consuma, e que o fogo os devore.10 Faze desaparecer da terra a posteridade deles e a sua descendência dentre os filhos dos homens.11 Se intentarem fazer-te mal, tramando algum plano, não o conseguirão,12 porque os porás em fuga, dirigindo teu arco contra a face deles.13 Erguei-vos, Senhor, em vossa potência! Cantaremos e celebraremos o vosso poder.

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.
