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.

大衛的詩，交與伶長。 耶和華啊，王必因你的能力歡喜； 因你的救恩，他的快樂何其大！

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

他心裏所願的，你已經賜給他； 他嘴唇所求的，你未嘗不應允。 (細拉)

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

你以美福迎接他， 把精金的冠冕戴在他頭上。

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

他向你求壽，你便賜給他， 就是日子長久，直到永遠。

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

他因你的救恩大有榮耀； 你又將尊榮威嚴加在他身上。

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

你使他有洪福，直到永遠， 又使他在你面前歡喜快樂。

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

王倚靠耶和華， 因至高者的慈愛必不搖動。

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

你的手要搜出你的一切仇敵； 你的右手要搜出那些恨你的人。

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.

你發怒的時候，要使他們如在炎熱的火爐中。 耶和華要在他的震怒中吞滅他們； 那火要把他們燒盡了。

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

你必從世上滅絕他們的子孫， 從人間滅絕他們的後裔。

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

因為他們有意加害於你； 他們想出計謀，卻不能做成。

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

你必使他們轉背逃跑， 向他們的臉搭箭在弦。

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

耶和華啊，願你因自己的能力顯為至高！ 這樣，我們就唱詩，歌頌你的大能。
