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!

Pou direktè koral la; Yon sòm David O SENYÈ, nan fòs Ou, Wa a va fè kè kontan. Nan delivrans Ou, ki gran rejwisans li va gen!

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

Ou te bay li dezi a kè li, ni Ou pa t refize demand a lèv li yo.

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

Paske Ou te vin rankontre Li avèk benediksyon de tout bon bagay. Ou te mete yon kouwòn sou tèt li.

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

Li te mande Ou lavi e Ou te bay li. Yon vi ki long ak jou k ap dire jis pou tout tan.

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

Glwa li gran nan sali pa Ou. Onè ak majeste Ou te mete sou li.

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

Paske Ou te fè li beni pase tout moun, jis pou tout tan; Ou te fè li plen ak lajwa avèk kè kontan nan prezans Ou.

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

Paske wa a mete konfyans li nan SENYÈ a. Epi akoz lanmou dous a Pi Wo a, Li p ap ebranle menm.

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

Men ou va dekouvri tout lènmi ou yo. Men dwat ou va jwenn (sila) ki rayi ou yo.

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.

Ou va fè yo tankou yon founo k ap brile nan tan kòlè ou. SENYÈ a va vale yo nèt nan kòlè Li, epi dife va devore yo.

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

Ou va detwi posterite pa yo soti sou latè, epi desandan yo ap disparèt pami fis a lòm yo.

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

Malgre yo te anvizaje mal kont Ou, e te fòme yon konplo, yo p ap reyisi.

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

Paske Ou va fè yo vire do yo. Ou va pwente banza sou figi yo ak bon kontwòl.

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

Ke Ou leve wo, O SENYÈ, ak tout fòs Ou! Nou va chante e bay lwanj a pwisans Ou.
