Psalms 21

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] The king rejoices in your strength, Jehovah. How greatly he rejoices in your salvation.

Kwa kiongozi wa muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mfalme anashangilia katika uweza wako, Yahwe! Ni kwa namna kuu anashangilia katika wokovu uliouleta!

2 You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

Wewe umempa yeye matamanio ya moyo wake na hauja mkatalia maombi midomo yake.

3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

Kwa kuwa wewe unamletea baraka nyingi; wewe uliweka katika kichwa chake taji ya dhahabu iliyo safi kabisa.

4 He asked life of you, you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

Yeye alikuomba wewe maisha; ukampatia maisha; wewe ulimpatia maisha malefu milele na milele.

5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

Yeye utukufu wake ni mkuu kwa sababu ya ushindi wako; wewe umemuwekea mapambo na enzi.

6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

Kwa kuwa unampatia yeye baraka za kudumu; unamfurahisha kwa furaha ya uwepo wako.

7 For the king trusts in Jehovah. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

Kwa kuwa Mfalme humwamini Yahwe; kwa kupitia uaminifu wa agano la aliye juu zaidi yeye hataondolewa.

8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find all those who hate you.

Mkono wako utawakamata adui zangu wote wote; mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata wale wote wanao kuchukia.

9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

Wakati wa hasira yako, wewe utawachoma kama katika tanuru la moto. Yahwe atawamaliza wao katika hasira yake, na moto utawateketeza upesi wao.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the descendants of Adam.

Wewe utawaangamiza watoto wao duniani na ukoo wao kutoka katika mrorongo wa wanadamu.

11 Though they intend evil against you, devising a wicked scheme, they will not succeed.

Kwa kuwa walikusudia kukufanyia mambo maovu wewe; wao walitunga njama ambayo kwayo hawawezi kufanikiwa!

12 For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

Kwa kuwa wewe utawarudisha nyuma; wewe utafyatua upinde wako mbele yao.

13 Be exalted, Jehovah, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.

Uninuliwe, Yahwe, katika uweza wako; tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.
