< Psalms 21 >

1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O YHWH; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ יְֽהֹוָה בְּעׇזְּךָ יִשְׂמַח־מֶלֶךְ וּבִישׁוּעָתְךָ מַה־[יָּגֶל] (יגיל) מְאֹֽד׃
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Selah)
תַּאֲוַת לִבּוֹ נָתַתָּה לּוֹ וַאֲרֶשֶׁת שְׂפָתָיו בַּל־מָנַעְתָּ סֶּֽלָה׃
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
כִּֽי־תְקַדְּמֶנּוּ בִּרְכוֹת טוֹב תָּשִׁית לְרֹאשׁוֹ עֲטֶרֶת פָּֽז׃
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
חַיִּים ׀ שָׁאַל מִמְּךָ נָתַתָּה לּוֹ אֹרֶךְ יָמִים עוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
גָּדוֹל כְּבוֹדוֹ בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ הוֹד וְהָדָר תְּשַׁוֶּה עָלָֽיו׃
6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
כִּֽי־תְשִׁיתֵהוּ בְרָכוֹת לָעַד תְּחַדֵּהוּ בְשִׂמְחָה אֶת־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃
7 For the king trusteth in YHWH, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
כִּֽי־הַמֶּלֶךְ בֹּטֵחַ בַּיהֹוָה וּבְחֶסֶד עֶלְיוֹן בַּל־יִמּֽוֹט׃
8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
תִּמְצָא יָדְךָ לְכׇל־אֹיְבֶיךָ יְמִֽינְךָ תִּמְצָא שֹׂנְאֶֽיךָ׃
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: YHWH shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ ׀ כְּתַנּוּר אֵשׁ לְעֵת פָּנֶיךָ יְהֹוָה בְּאַפּוֹ יְבַלְּעֵם וְֽתֹאכְלֵם אֵֽשׁ׃
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
פִּרְיָמוֹ מֵאֶרֶץ תְּאַבֵּד וְזַרְעָם מִבְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
כִּי־נָטוּ עָלֶיךָ רָעָה חָֽשְׁבוּ מְזִמָּה בַּל־יוּכָֽלוּ׃
12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
כִּי תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ שֶׁכֶם בְּמֵֽיתָרֶיךָ תְּכוֹנֵן עַל־פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
13 Be thou exalted, YHWH, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
רוּמָה יְהֹוָה בְּעֻזֶּךָ נָשִׁירָה וּֽנְזַמְּרָה גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃
