第 21 篇
頌讚勝利
大衛的詩，交給樂長。
1耶和華啊，
君王因你的能力而歡欣，
因你的拯救而雀躍。
2你滿足了他的心願，
未曾拒絕他的請求。（細拉）
3你賜給他豐盛的祝福，
給他戴上純金的冠冕。
4他向你祈求長壽，
你就賜給他永生。
5你的救助帶給他無限榮耀，
你賜給他尊榮和威嚴。
6你給他的祝福永無窮盡，
你的同在使他充滿喜樂。
7君王信靠耶和華，
靠著至高者的慈愛必不動搖。
8耶和華啊，
你的手必尋索你的敵人，
你用右手搜出所有恨你的人。
9你一出現，
他們便像身在火爐中，
你在烈怒中吞滅他們，
你的烈火燒滅他們。
10你必從世上剷除他們的子孫，
從人間滅絕他們的後裔。
11他們雖然用陰謀詭計對抗你，
卻不能成功。
12你必彎弓搭箭瞄準他們，
使他們掉頭逃跑。
13耶和華啊，願你彰顯大能，受人尊崇！
我們要歌頌、讚美你的權能。
Psalm 21
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1Lord, the king is filled with joy because you are strong.
How great is his joy because you help him win his battles!
2You have given him what his heart wished for.
You haven’t kept back from him what his lips asked for.
3You came to greet him with rich blessings.
You placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
4He asked you for life, and you gave it to him.
You promised him days that would never end.
5His glory is great because you helped him win his battles.
You have honored him with glory and majesty.
6You have given him blessings that will never end.
You have made him glad and joyful because you are with him.
7The king trusts in the Lord.
The faithful love of the Most High God
will keep the king secure.
8You, the king, will capture all your enemies.
Your right hand will take hold of them.
9When you appear for battle,
you will burn them up like they were in a flaming furnace.
The Lord will swallow them up in his great anger.
His fire will burn them up.
10You will wipe their children from the face of the earth.
You will remove them from the human race.
11Your enemies make evil plans against you.
They think up evil things to do. But they can’t succeed.
12You will make them turn their backs and run away
when you aim your arrows at them.
13Lord, may you be honored because you are strong.
We will sing and praise your might.
