1El rey se alegra en tu poder, oh Jehová; Y en tu salvación, ¡cómo se goza!
2Le has concedido el deseo de su corazón, Y no le negaste la petición de sus labios.
3Porque le has salido al encuentro con bendiciones de bien; Corona de oro fino has puesto sobre su cabeza.
4Vida te demandó, y se la diste; Largura de días eternamente y para siempre.
5Grande es su gloria en tu salvación; Honra y majestad has puesto sobre él.
6Porque lo has bendecido para siempre; Lo llenaste de alegría con tu presencia.
7Por cuanto el rey confía en Jehová, Y en la misericordia del Altísimo, no será conmovido.
8Alcanzará tu mano a todos tus enemigos; Tu diestra alcanzará a los que te aborrecen.
9Los pondrás como horno de fuego en el tiempo de tu ira; Jehová los deshará en su ira, Y fuego los consumirá.
10Su fruto destruirás de la tierra, Y su descendencia de entre los hijos de los hombres.
11Porque intentaron el mal contra ti; Fraguaron maquinaciones, mas no prevalecerán,
12Pues tú los pondrás en fuga; En tus cuerdas dispondrás saetas contra sus rostros.
13Engrandécete, oh Jehová, en tu poder; Cantaremos y alabaremos tu poderío.
