Psalms 21:1-13

Psalm 21In Hebrew texts 21:1-13 is numbered 21:2-14.

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1The king rejoices in your strength, Lord.

How great is his joy in the victories you give!

2You have granted him his heart’s desire

and have not withheld the request of his lips.21:2 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.

3You came to greet him with rich blessings

and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

4He asked you for life, and you gave it to him –

length of days, for ever and ever.

5Through the victories you gave, his glory is great;

you have bestowed on him splendour and majesty.

6Surely you have granted him unending blessings

and made him glad with the joy of your presence.

7For the king trusts in the Lord;

through the unfailing love of the Most High

he will not be shaken.

8Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies;

your right hand will seize your foes.

9When you appear for battle,

you will burn them up as in a blazing furnace.

The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath,

and his fire will consume them.

10You will destroy their descendants from the earth,

their posterity from mankind.

11Though they plot evil against you

and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed.

12You will make them turn their backs

when you aim at them with drawn bow.

13Be exalted in your strength, Lord;

we will sing and praise your might.

Salimo 21

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide.

1Inu Yehova, mfumu ikusangalala mu mphamvu yanu,

chimwemwe chake nʼchachikuludi pa kupambana kumene mumapereka!

2Inu mwayipatsa zokhumba za mtima wake

ndipo simunayimane zopempha za pa milomo yake.

Sela

3Inu munayilandira ndi madalitso ochuluka

ndipo munayiveka chipewa chaufumu chagolide weniweni pa mutu wake.

4Iye anakupemphani moyo, ndipo munamupatsa

masiku ochuluka kwamuyaya.

5Kudzera mʼzigonjetso zimene munapereka, ulemerero wake ndi waukulu;

Inu mwapereka pa iyo ulemerero ndi ufumu.

6Zoonadi Inu mwayipatsa madalitso amuyaya,

Inu mwayipatsa chisangalalo ndi chimwemwe chimene chili pamaso panu.

7Pakuti mfumu imadalira Yehova;

kudzera mʼchikondi chake chosatha cha Wammwambamwamba,

iyo sidzagwedezeka.

8Dzanja lanu lidzayimitsa adani anu onse;

dzanja lanu lamanja lidzagwira adani anu.

9Pa nthawi ya kuonekera kwanu

mudzawasandutsa ngʼanjo yamoto yotentha.

Mu ukali wake Yehova adzawameza,

ndipo moto wake udzawatha.

10Inu mudzawononga ana awo pa dziko lapansi,

zidzukulu zawo pakati pa anthu.

11Ngakhale iwo akukonzereni chiwembu mwa kuchenjera kwawo

sadzapambana;

12pakuti mudzawapirikitsa ndipo adzaonetsa misana yawo

pamene mudzawaloza ndi mivi yanu.

13Mukwezeke Inu Yehova mʼmphamvu yanu,

ife tidzayimba nyimbo ndi kutamanda mphamvu yanu.
