Psalms 21

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Wa a kontan, Seyè, dèske ou te ba li fòs kouraj. Wa a kontan nèt dèske ou fè l' genyen batay la.

2 You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

Ou ba li tou sa l' te renmen. Ou pa t' refize l' sa l' te mande ou.

3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

Ou vin bò kote l' avèk anpil benediksyon, ou mete yon kouwòn fèt ak bon lò sou tèt li.

4 He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

Li mande ou lavi, ou ba li l'. Ou ba l' yon lavi ki long, yon lavi ki p'ap janm fini.

5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

Y'ap fè gwo lwanj pou li, paske ou ede l', ou fè yo respekte l', ou ba li bèl pozisyon,

6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

Ou mete benediksyon ou sou li pou tout tan. Ou fè kè l' kontan paske ou la avè l'.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

Wa a mete konfyans li nan Seyè a. Gremesi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, wa a la pou tout tan.

8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

Wa a ap mete men l' sou tout lènmi l' yo, l'ap mache pran tout moun ki pa vle wè l' yo.

9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

Lè w'a parèt, w'ap detwi yo tankou yon gwo boukan dife. Lè Seyè a ankòlè, se fini l'ap fini ak yo, dife ap boule yo nèt.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.

W'ap disparèt tout pitit yo sou latè, w'ap disparèt tout ras yo pami lèzòm.

11 For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

Y'ap fè move plan, y'ap fè konplo sou wa a, men sa p'ap mache pou yo.

12 For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

L'ap tire flèch li sou yo, l'ap fè yo kouri ale.

13 Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.

Seyè, leve non. Fè yo wè fòs ou! N'a chante, n'a fè lwanj pou jan ou gen pouvwa!
