Psalms 21

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!

Kwa kiongozi wa muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mfalme anashangilia katika uweza wako, Yahwe! Ni kwa namna kuu anashangilia katika wokovu uliouleta!

2 You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

Wewe umempa yeye matamanio ya moyo wake na hauja mkatalia maombi midomo yake.

3 For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

Kwa kuwa wewe unamletea baraka nyingi; wewe uliweka katika kichwa chake taji ya dhahabu iliyo safi kabisa.

4 He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever.

Yeye alikuomba wewe maisha; ukampatia maisha; wewe ulimpatia maisha malefu milele na milele.

5 Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.

Yeye utukufu wake ni mkuu kwa sababu ya ushindi wako; wewe umemuwekea mapambo na enzi.

6 For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.

Kwa kuwa unampatia yeye baraka za kudumu; unamfurahisha kwa furaha ya uwepo wako.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.

Kwa kuwa Mfalme humwamini Yahwe; kwa kupitia uaminifu wa agano la aliye juu zaidi yeye hataondolewa.

8 Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.

Mkono wako utawakamata adui zangu wote wote; mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata wale wote wanao kuchukia.

9 You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.

Wakati wa hasira yako, wewe utawachoma kama katika tanuru la moto. Yahwe atawamaliza wao katika hasira yake, na moto utawateketeza upesi wao.

10 You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.

Wewe utawaangamiza watoto wao duniani na ukoo wao kutoka katika mrorongo wa wanadamu.

11 Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.

Kwa kuwa walikusudia kukufanyia mambo maovu wewe; wao walitunga njama ambayo kwayo hawawezi kufanikiwa!

12 For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.

Kwa kuwa wewe utawarudisha nyuma; wewe utafyatua upinde wako mbele yao.

13 Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.

Uninuliwe, Yahwe, katika uweza wako; tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.
