Psalms 21

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.

【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。

2 Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

你滿全了他心中的渴想，沒有拒絕他口中的盼望。

3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

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；

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever.

他雖只向你乞求確保性命，你卻賜給他萬世無疆的長生。

5 His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.

你協助他獲得偉大的光榮，你加給他無比的榮耀與尊崇；

6 For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.

你使他成為萬世的福源，使他在你面前踴躍喜歡。

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

君王既已全心對上主信賴，憑至高者的慈愛不再移改。

8 Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that hate thee.

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！

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

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！

10 Thou shalt destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

願你從地上滅盡他們的子女，使他們的後裔全絕跡於人世！

11 For they intended evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

他們雖為陷害你而設計，策畫的陰謀卻無濟於事；

12 For thou shalt make them [turn their] back in thy latter end, thou wilt prepare their face.

因為你朝他們張弓搭箭，已使他們嚇得轉身逃竄。

13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: we will sing and praise thy mighty acts.

上主，請起來，顯示你的英勇，讓我們歌頌稱揚你的威能。
