Psalms 21

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ مِنْ نَظْمِ دَاوُدَ رَبُّ بِقُوَّتِكَ يَفْرَحُ الْمَلِكُ، وَمَا أَعْظَمَ بَهْجَتَهُ بِخَلاصِكَ!

2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Selah)

٢ لَقَدْ وَهَبْتَهُ بُغْيَةَ قَلْبِهِ وَلَمْ تَحْرِمْهُ مِنْ طِلْبَةِ شَفَتَيْهِ.

3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

٣ بَادَرْتَهُ بِبَرَكَاتِ الْخَيْرِ، وَوَضَعْتَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ تَاجاً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ!

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

٤ طَلَبَ مِنْكَ الْحَيَاةَ فَوَهَبْتَهَا لَهُ، إِذْ أَطَلْتَ عُمْرَهُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الدُّهُورِ.

5 His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

٥ عَظِيمٌ مَجْدُهُ بِفَضْلِ خَلاصِكَ، بِالْعِزَّةِ وَالْبَهَاءِ كَلَّلْتَهُ.

6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

٦ لأَنَّكَ جَعَلْتَهُ أَكْثَرَ الْمُبَارَكِينَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. تَغْمُرُهُ بِفَيْضِ الْفَرَحِ فِي حَضْرَتِكَ.

7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

٧ لأَنَّ الْمَلِكَ يَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَى الرَّبِّ، وَبِنِعْمَةِ الْعَلِيِّ لَا يَتَزَعْزَعُ.

8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

٨ يَدُكَ حَتْماً تَنَالُ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكَ، وَيُمْنَاكَ حَقّاً تَظْفَرُ بِمُبْغِضِيكَ.

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

٩ حِينَ يَتَجَلَّى وَجْهُكَ تُحْرِقُهُمْ كَمَا بِمَوْقِدٍ مُشْتَعِلٍ. تَلْتَهِمُهُمْ فِي غَضَبِكَ فَتَأْكُلُهُمُ النَّارُ.

10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

١٠ تُبِيدُ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَنَسْلَهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي آدَمَ.

11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].

١١ لَقَدْ تَآمَرُوا لِلإِسَاءَةِ إِلَيْكَ، وَدَبَّرُوا مَكِيدَةً شِرِّيرَةً لَمْ يُفْلِحُوا فِيهَا.

12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou shalt make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against the face of them.

١٢ لأَنَّكَ تَجْعَلُهُمْ يُدْبِرُونَ لِلْهَرَبِ، عِنْدَمَا تَشُدُّ وَتَرَ الْقَوْسِ نَحْوَ وُجُوهِهِمْ.

13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: [so] will we sing and praise thy power.

١٣ ارْتَفِعْ يَا رَبُّ بِقُوَّتِكَ، فَنَتَرَنَّمَ وَنَتَغَنَّى بِقُدْرَتِكَ.
