תְהִלִּים 21

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ יְֽהוָ֗ה בְּעָזְּךָ֥ יִשְׂמַח־מֶ֑לֶךְ וּ֝בִישׁ֥וּעָתְךָ֗ מַה־יָּ֥גֶיל מְאֹֽד׃

For the music director. A psalm of David. The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!

2 תַּאֲוַ֣ת לִ֭בֹּו נָתַ֣תָּה לֹּ֑ו וַאֲרֶ֥שֶׁת שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו בַּל־מָנַ֥עְתָּ סֶּֽלָה׃

You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.

3 כִּֽי־תְ֭קַדְּמֶנּוּ בִּרְכֹ֣ות טֹ֑וב תָּשִׁ֥ית לְ֝רֹאשֹׁ֗ו עֲטֶ֣רֶת פָּֽז׃

You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

4 חַיִּ֤ים ׀ שָׁאַ֣ל מִ֭מְּךָ נָתַ֣תָּה לֹּ֑ו אֹ֥רֶךְ יָ֝מִ֗ים עֹולָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃

He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.

5 גָּדֹ֣ול כְּ֭בֹודֹו בִּישׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ הֹ֥וד וְ֝הָדָר תְּשַׁוֶּ֥ה עָלָֽיו׃

Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.

6 כִּֽי־תְשִׁיתֵ֣הוּ בְרָכֹ֣ות לָעַ֑ד תְּחַדֵּ֥הוּ בְ֝שִׂמְחָ֗ה אֶת־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃

You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.

7 כִּֽי־הַ֭מֶּלֶךְ בֹּטֵ֣חַ בַּיהוָ֑ה וּבְחֶ֥סֶד עֶ֝לְיֹ֗ון בַּל־יִמֹּֽוט׃

For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.

8 תִּמְצָ֣א יָ֭דְךָ לְכָל־אֹיְבֶ֑יךָ יְ֝מִֽינְךָ תִּמְצָ֥א שֹׂנְאֶֽיךָ׃

You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.

9 תְּשִׁיתֵ֤מֹו ׀ כְּתַנּ֥וּר אֵשׁ֮ לְעֵ֪ת פָּ֫נֶ֥יךָ יְ֭הוָה בְּאַפֹּ֣ו יְבַלְּעֵ֑ם וְֽתֹאכְלֵ֥ם אֵֽשׁ׃

When you appear on the scene you will burn them up like in a furnace; the Lord in his anger will destroy them, burning them up with fire.

10 פִּ֭רְיָמֹו מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תְּאַבֵּ֑ד וְ֝זַרְעָ֗ם מִבְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃

You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.

11 כִּי־נָט֣וּ עָלֶ֣יךָ רָעָ֑ה חָֽשְׁב֥וּ מְ֝זִמָּ֗ה בַּל־יוּכָֽלוּ׃

Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.

12 כִּ֭י תְּשִׁיתֵ֣מֹו שֶׁ֑כֶם בְּ֝מֵֽיתָרֶ֗יךָ תְּכֹונֵ֥ן עַל־פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃

They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.

13 ר֣וּמָה יְהוָ֣ה בְעֻזֶּ֑ךָ נָשִׁ֥ירָה וּֽ֝נְזַמְּרָה גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃

Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
