詩篇 21

1 【頌賜勝利的天主】 達味詩歌，交與樂官。 上主，君王因你的威能而欣喜，因你的救助狂歡而快樂無比。

Unto the end. A psalm for David. In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.

2 你滿全了他心中的渴想，沒有拒絕他口中的盼望。

Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.

3 因為你已賜給了他卓越的福寵，以純金的冠冕加在他的頭頂；

For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.

4 他雖只向你乞求確保性命，你卻賜給他萬世無疆的長生。

He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.

5 你協助他獲得偉大的光榮，你加給他無比的榮耀與尊崇；

His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.

6 你使他成為萬世的福源，使他在你面前踴躍喜歡。

For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.

7 君王既已全心對上主信賴，憑至高者的慈愛不再移改。

For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

8 願你的手將你的一切仇敵搜羅，願你的右手將憎恨你的人捕捉！

Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.

9 當你顥示你尊容的時候，處置他們有如放在火爐；願上主以震怒消滅他們，讓火焰也盡情吞滅他們！

Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.

10 願你從地上滅盡他們的子女，使他們的後裔全絕跡於人世！

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.

11 他們雖為陷害你而設計，策畫的陰謀卻無濟於事；

For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.

12 因為你朝他們張弓搭箭，已使他們嚇得轉身逃竄。

For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.

13 上主，請起來，顯示你的英勇，讓我們歌頌稱揚你的威能。

Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.
