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.

Pagpupuri sa Pagtatagumpay
1Panginoon, sobrang galak ng hari
dahil binigyan nʼyo siya ng kalakasan.
Siyaʼy tuwang-tuwa dahil binigyan nʼyo siya ng tagumpay.
2Ibinigay nʼyo sa kanya ang kanyang hinahangad;
hindi nʼyo ipinagkait ang kanyang kahilingan.
3Tinanggap nʼyo siya, at pinagkalooban ng masaganang pagpapala.
Pinutungan nʼyo ang ulo niya ng koronang yari sa purong ginto.
4Hiniling niya sa inyo na dagdagan ang buhay niya,
at binigyan nʼyo siya ng mahabang buhay.
5Dahil sa pagbibigay nʼyo ng tagumpay sa kanya,
naging tanyag siya at makapangyarihan.
6-7Dahil nagtitiwala siya sa inyo, Panginoon,
pinagpala nʼyo siya ng mga pagpapalang walang katapusan,
at pinasaya nʼyo siya sa inyong piling.
At dahil minamahal nʼyo siya nang tapat, Kataas-taasang Dios,
hindi siya mabubuwal.
8Sa pamamagitan ng inyong kapangyarihan,
matatalo nʼyo ang lahat nʼyong mga kaaway.
9At kapag kayo ay dumating Panginoon, lilipulin nʼyo sila.
Dahil sa galit nʼyo, tutupukin sila na parang dayami sa naglalagablab na apoy.
10Uubusin nʼyo ang lahat ng mga anak nila sa buong kalupaan,
upang wala nang magpatuloy ng kanilang lahing masama.
11Nagbabalak sila ng masama laban sa inyo,
ngunit hindi sila magtatagumpay.
12Tatakas sila kapag nakita nilang nakatutok na sa kanila ang inyong pana.
13Panginoon, pinupuri namin kayo
dahil sa inyong kalakasan.
Aawit kami ng mga papuri
dahil sa inyong kapangyarihan.
