Psalms 21

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!

برای رهبر سرایندگان. مزمور داوود. ای خداوند، پادشاه از قوتی که به او داده‌ای شادی می‌کند و از پیروزی‌ای که به او بخشیده‌ای شادمان است.

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

تو آرزوی دل او را برآوردی و هر چه از تو خواسته از او دریغ نداشتی.

3 For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.

تو با برکات نیکو، به استقبالش رفتی و تاجی از طلای ناب بر سرش نهادی.

4 He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.

از تو حیات خواست، به او دادی و بقا و طول عمر به او بخشیدی.

5 His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.

شکوه و عظمت او به خاطر پیروزی‌ای است که تو به او بخشیده‌ای. تو به او عزت و احترام داده‌ای.

6 For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.

او را تا ابد با برکاتت پر ساخته‌ای و با حضورت او را شاد گردانیده‌ای.

7 For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.

پادشاه بر خداوند توکل دارد. محبت خدای متعال او را از لغزیدن حفظ خواهد کرد.

8 Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.

پادشاه بر همهٔ دشمنانش غلبه خواهد یافت.

9 You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.

او وقتی بیاید مانند آتش مشتعل مخالفانش را نابود خواهد کرد. آتش خشم خداوند، دشمنان پادشاه را خواهد بلعید؛

10 Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

و نسل آنها را از روی زمین نابود خواهد ساخت.

11 For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.

آنها بر ضد پادشاه قیام کردند و نقشه‌های پلید کشیدند، اما موفق نشدند.

12 Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.

او با تیر و کمان آنها را هدف قرار خواهد داد و ایشان برگشته، پا به فرار خواهند گذاشت.

13 Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.

ای خداوند، به خاطر قدرتت تو را ستایش می‌کنیم و عظمت تو را می‌سراییم.
