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。

Yahweh, ([I], your king am glad/the king is glad) because you have caused me/him to be strong. (I rejoice/he rejoices) greatly because you have rescued me/him [from my/his enemies].

2 你滿全了他心中的渴想，沒有拒絕他口中的盼望。

You have given me/him the things that I/he [SYN] desired and you have not refused to do what I requested you to do.

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；

In answer to my/his prayer, you enabled me/him to succeed and prosper. You placed a gold crown on my/his head.

4 他雖只向你乞求確保性命，你卻賜給他萬世無疆的長生。

I/He asked you to enable me/him to live [for a long time], and that is what you gave me/him, a very long [HYP] life.

5 你協助他獲得偉大的光榮，你加給他無比的榮耀與尊崇；

(I am/He is) greatly honored because you have helped me/him to defeat my/his enemies; you have made me/him famous.

6 你使他成為萬世的福源，使他在你面前踴躍喜歡。

You will bless me/him forever, and you have caused me/him to be joyful in your presence.

7 君王既已全心對上主信賴，憑至高者的慈愛不再移改。

Yahweh, you are God Almighty, and (I trust/the king trusts) in you. Because you faithfully love me/him, disastrous things will never happen to me/him.

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！

You will enable me/him to capture [MTY] all my/his enemies and all those who hate me/him.

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！

When you appear, you will throw them into a fiery furnace. Because you are angry [with them], you will get rid of them; the fire will burn them up.

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！

You will remove their children from this earth; their descendants will all disappear.

11 他們雖為陷害你而設計，策畫的陰謀卻無濟於事；

They planned to harm you, but what they plan will never succeed.

12 因為你朝他們張弓搭箭，已使他們嚇得轉身逃竄。

You will cause them to run away [IDM] by shooting arrows at them.

13 上主，請起來，顯示你的英勇，讓我們歌頌稱揚你的威能。

Yahweh, show us that you are very strong! When you do that, while we sing we will praise you because you are very powerful.
