Psalms 21

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

大衛的詩，交與伶長。 耶和華啊，王必因你的能力歡喜； 因你的救恩，他的快樂何其大！

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

他心裏所願的，你已經賜給他； 他嘴唇所求的，你未嘗不應允。 (細拉)

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

你以美福迎接他， 把精金的冠冕戴在他頭上。

4 He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.

他向你求壽，你便賜給他， 就是日子長久，直到永遠。

5 His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

他因你的救恩大有榮耀； 你又將尊榮威嚴加在他身上。

6 For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

你使他有洪福，直到永遠， 又使他在你面前歡喜快樂。

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

王倚靠耶和華， 因至高者的慈愛必不搖動。

8 Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

你的手要搜出你的一切仇敵； 你的右手要搜出那些恨你的人。

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

你發怒的時候，要使他們如在炎熱的火爐中。 耶和華要在他的震怒中吞滅他們； 那火要把他們燒盡了。

10 You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [amongst] the sons of men.

你必從世上滅絕他們的子孫， 從人間滅絕他們的後裔。

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

因為他們有意加害於你； 他們想出計謀，卻不能做成。

12 For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

你必使他們轉背逃跑， 向他們的臉搭箭在弦。

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

耶和華啊，願你因自己的能力顯為至高！ 這樣，我們就唱詩，歌頌你的大能。
