< Psalms 21 >
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!
大卫的诗,交与伶长。 耶和华啊,王必因你的能力欢喜; 因你的救恩,他的快乐何其大!
2 You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.
他心里所愿的,你已经赐给他; 他嘴唇所求的,你未尝不应允。 (细拉)
3 You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
你以美福迎接他, 把精金的冠冕戴在他头上。
4 He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.
他向你求寿,你便赐给他, 就是日子长久,直到永远。
5 Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.
他因你的救恩大有荣耀; 你又将尊荣威严加在他身上。
6 You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.
你使他有洪福,直到永远, 又使他在你面前欢喜快乐。
7 For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.
王倚靠耶和华, 因至高者的慈爱必不摇动。
8 You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.
你的手要搜出你的一切仇敌; 你的右手要搜出那些恨你的人。
9 When you appear on the scene you will burn them up like in a furnace; the Lord in his anger will destroy them, burning them up with fire.
你发怒的时候,要使他们如在炎热的火炉中。 耶和华要在他的震怒中吞灭他们; 那火要把他们烧尽了。
10 You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.
你必从世上灭绝他们的子孙, 从人间灭绝他们的后裔。
11 Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.
因为他们有意加害于你; 他们想出计谋,却不能作成。
12 They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.
你必使他们转背逃跑, 向他们的脸搭箭在弦。
13 Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
耶和华啊,愿你因自己的能力显为至高! 这样,我们就唱诗,歌颂你的大能。
