Psalms 21

1 Yahweh, ([I], your king am glad/the king is glad) because you have caused me/him to be strong. (I rejoice/he rejoices) greatly because you have rescued me/him [from my/his enemies].

2 You have given me/him the things that I/he [SYN] desired and you have not refused to do what I requested you to do.

3 In answer to my/his prayer, you enabled me/him to succeed and prosper. You placed a gold crown on my/his head.

4 I/He asked you to enable me/him to live [for a long time], and that is what you gave me/him, a very long [HYP] life.

5 (I am/He is) greatly honored because you have helped me/him to defeat my/his enemies; you have made me/him famous.

6 You will bless me/him forever, and you have caused me/him to be joyful in your presence.

7 Yahweh, you are God Almighty, and (I trust/the king trusts) in you. Because you faithfully love me/him, disastrous things will never happen to me/him.

8 You will enable me/him to capture [MTY] all my/his enemies and all those who hate me/him.

9 When you appear, you will throw them into a fiery furnace. Because you are angry [with them], you will get rid of them; the fire will burn them up.

10 You will remove their children from this earth; their descendants will all disappear.

11 They planned to harm you, but what they plan will never succeed.

12 You will cause them to run away [IDM] by shooting arrows at them.

13 Yahweh, show us that you are very strong! When you do that, while we sing we will praise you because you are very powerful.
