< 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!
ヱホバよ王はなんぢの力によりてたのしみ汝のすくひによりて奈何におほいなる歓喜をなさん
2 You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.
なんぢ彼がこころの願望をゆるし そのくちびるの求をいなみ給はざりき (セラ)
3 You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
そはよきたまものの惠をもてかれを迎へ まじりなきこがねの冕弁をもてかれの首にいただかせ給ひたり
4 He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.
かれ生命をもとめしに汝これをあたへてその齢の日を世々かぎりなからしめ給へり
5 Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.
なんぢの救によりてその榮光おほいなり なんぢは尊貴と稜威とをかれに衣せたまふ
6 You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.
そは之をとこしへに福ひなるものとなし聖顔のまへの歓喜をもて樂しませたまへばなり
7 For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.
王はヱホバに依賴み いとたかき者のいつくしみを蒙るがゆゑに動かさるることなからん
8 You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.
なんぢの手はそのもろもろの仇をたづねいだし 汝のみぎの手はおのれを憎むものを探ねいだすべし
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.
なんぢ怒るときは彼等をもゆる爐のごとくにせんヱホバはげしき怒によりてかれらを呑たまはん 火はかれらを食つくさん
10 You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.
汝かれらの裔を地よりほろぼし かれらの種を人の子のなかよりほろぼさん
11 Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.
かれらは汝にむかひて惡事をくはだて遂がたき謀略をおもひまはせばなり
12 They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.
汝かれらをして背をむけしめ その面にむかひて弓絃をひかん
13 Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
ヱホバよ能力をあらはしてみづからを高くしたまへ 我儕はなんぢの稜威をうたひ且ほめたたへん
