Psalms 21

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation.

【頌賜勝利的天主】 達味詩歌，交與樂官。 上主，君王因你的威能而欣喜，因你的救助狂歡而快樂無比。

2 You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

你滿全了他心中的渴想，沒有拒絕他口中的盼望。

3 For You put blessings of goodness before him, You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

因為你已賜給了他卓越的福寵，以純金的冠冕加在他的頭頂；

4 He has asked for life from You, You have given length of days to him, For all time and forever.

他雖只向你乞求確保性命，你卻賜給他萬世無疆的長生。

5 Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, You place splendor and majesty on him.

你協助他獲得偉大的光榮，你加給他無比的榮耀與尊崇；

6 For You make him blessings forever, You cause him to rejoice with joy, By Your countenance.

你使他成為萬世的福源，使他在你面前踴躍喜歡。

7 For the king is trusting in YHWH, And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved.

君王既已全心對上主信賴，憑至高者的慈愛不再移改。

8 Your hand comes to all Your enemies, Your right hand finds Your haters.

願你的手將你的一切仇敵搜羅，願你的右手將憎恨你的人捕捉！

9 You make them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, And fire devours them.

當你顥示你尊容的時候，處置他們有如放在火爐；願上主以震怒消滅他們，讓火焰也盡情吞滅他們！

10 You destroy their fruit from earth, And their seed from the sons of men.

願你從地上滅盡他們的子女，使他們的後裔全絕跡於人世！

11 For they stretched out evil against You, They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail,

他們雖為陷害你而設計，策畫的陰謀卻無濟於事；

12 For You make them turn their back, When You prepare Your strings against their faces.

因為你朝他們張弓搭箭，已使他們嚇得轉身逃竄。

13 Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, We sing and we praise Your might!

上主，請起來，顯示你的英勇，讓我們歌頌稱揚你的威能。
