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。

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” O Lord, because of thy strength will the king rejoice; and through thy salvation how greatly will he be glad!

2 你滿全了他心中的渴想，沒有拒絕他口中的盼望。

The longing of his heart hast thou given him, and the request of his lips hast thou not withholden. (Selah)

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 meetest him unasked with the blessings of happiness: thou settest on his head a crown of pure gold.

4 他雖只向你乞求確保性命，你卻賜給他萬世無疆的長生。

Life hath he asked of thee, thou gavest it to 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；

Great is his honor through thy help: glory and majesty thou layest 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 appointest him to be a blessing for ever: thou makest him glad with joy from thy presence.

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 trusteth in the Lord; and through the kindness of the Most High shall he 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！

Thy hand will reach all thy enemies: thy right hand will reach those 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 wilt render them as a fiery oven at the time of thy anger: the Lord in his wrath will destroy them, and a fire will 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 wilt thou cause to perish 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 directed against thee evil: they devised a mischievous purpose, which they were not able to perform.

12 因為你朝他們張弓搭箭，已使他們嚇得轉身逃竄。

For thou wilt make them turn their back; upon thy bow-strings thou wilt make ready [thy arrows] against 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。

Exalt thyself, O Lord, in thy strength; [and] we will sing and praise thy power.
