Psalms 21
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. O Yahweh, in thy strength, will the king rejoice, and, in thy salvation, how greatly will he exult!
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ יְֽהוָה בְּעָזְּךָ יִשְׂמַח־מֶלֶךְ וּבִישׁוּעָתְךָ מַה־יגיל יָּגֶל מְאֹֽד׃ |
2 The longing of his heart, hast thou given him, and, the request of his lips, hast thou not withheld. (Selah)
| תַּאֲוַת לִבּוֹ נָתַתָּה לּוֹ וַאֲרֶשֶׁת שְׂפָתָיו בַּל־מָנַעְתָּ סֶּֽלָה׃ |
3 For thou wilt come to meet him, with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head, a crown of pure gold.
| כִּֽי־תְקַדְּמֶנּוּ בִּרְכוֹת טוֹב תָּשִׁית לְרֹאשׁוֹ עֲטֶרֶת פָּֽז׃ |
4 Life, he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, length of days, to times age-abiding and beyond.
| חַיִּים ׀ שָׁאַל מִמְּךָ נָתַתָּה לּוֹ אֹרֶךְ יָמִים עוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃ |
5 Great is his glory, in thy salvation, Honour and majesty, wilt thou lay upon him;
| גָּדוֹל כְּבוֹדוֹ בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ הוֹד וְהָדָר תְּשַׁוֶּה עָלָֽיו׃ |
6 For thou wilt appoint him blessings evermore, wilt cheer him with joy by thy countenance;
| כִּֽי־תְשִׁיתֵהוּ בְרָכוֹת לָעַד תְּחַדֵּהוּ בְשִׂמְחָה אֶת־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃ |
7 For, the king, is trusting in Yahweh, and, in the lovingkindness of the Highest, shall he not be shaken.
| כִּֽי־הַמֶּלֶךְ בֹּטֵחַ בַּיהוָה וּבְחֶסֶד עֶלְיוֹן בַּל־יִמּֽוֹט׃ |
8 Thy hand, will find out, all thy foes, Thine own right hand, will find out them who hate thee.
| תִּמְצָא יָדְךָ לְכָל־אֹיְבֶיךָ יְמִֽינְךָ תִּמְצָא שֹׂנְאֶֽיךָ׃ |
9 Thou wilt make them like a furnace of fire, at the time of thy presence, —Yahweh, in his anger, will swallow them up, and there shall consume them a fire:
| תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ ׀ כְּתַנּוּר אֵשׁ לְעֵת פָּנֶיךָ יְהוָה בְּאַפּוֹ יְבַלְּעֵם וְֽתֹאכְלֵם אֵֽשׁ׃ |
10 Their fruit—out of the earth, wilt thou destroy, and their seed, from among the sons of men;
| פִּרְיָמוֹ מֵאֶרֶץ תְּאַבֵּד וְזַרְעָם מִבְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃ |
11 For they have held out, against thee, a wicked thing, They have devised a scheme they cannot accomplish.
| כִּי־נָטוּ עָלֶיךָ רָעָה חָֽשְׁבוּ מְזִמָּה בַּל־יוּכָֽלוּ׃ |
12 For thou wilt cause them to turn their back, Upon thy bow-strings, wilt thou make ready against their face.
| כִּי תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ שֶׁכֶם בְּמֵֽיתָרֶיךָ תְּכוֹנֵן עַל־פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃ |
13 Be exalted, O Yahweh, in thy strength! With song and with string will we sound forth thy power.
| רוּמָה יְהוָה בְּעֻזֶּךָ נָשִׁירָה וּֽנְזַמְּרָה גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃ |
