תְהִלִּים 21

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

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The King shall reioyce in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he reioyce in thy saluation!

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

Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire, and hast not denyed him the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 כִּֽי־תְ֭קַדְּמֶנּוּ בִּרְכֹ֣ות טֹ֑וב תָּשִׁ֥ית לְ֝רֹאשֹׁ֗ו עֲטֶ֣רֶת פָּֽז׃

For thou diddest preuent him with liberall blessings, and didest set a crowne of pure gold vpon his head.

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

He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life for euer and euer.

5 גָּדֹ֣ול כְּ֭בֹודֹו בִּישׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ הֹ֥וד וְ֝הָדָר תְּשַׁוֶּ֥ה עָלָֽיו׃

His glory is great in thy saluation: dignitie and honour hast thou laid vpon him.

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

For thou hast set him as blessings for euer: thou hast made him glad with the ioy of thy countenance.

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

Because the King trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercie of the most High, he shall not slide.

8 תִּמְצָ֣א יָ֭דְךָ לְכָל־אֹיְבֶ֑יךָ יְ֝מִֽינְךָ תִּמְצָ֥א שֹׂנְאֶֽיךָ׃

Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall finde out them that hate thee.

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

Thou shalt make them like a fierie ouen in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them.

10 פִּ֭רְיָמֹו מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תְּאַבֵּ֑ד וְ֝זַרְעָ֗ם מִבְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃

Their fruite shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seede from the children of men.

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

For they intended euill against thee, and imagined mischiefe, but they shall not preuaile.

12 כִּ֭י תְּשִׁיתֵ֣מֹו שֶׁ֑כֶם בְּ֝מֵֽיתָרֶ֗יךָ תְּכֹונֵ֥ן עַל־פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃

Therefore shalt thou put them aparte, and the strings of thy bowe shalt thou make readie against their faces.

13 ר֣וּמָה יְהוָ֣ה בְעֻזֶּ֑ךָ נָשִׁ֥ירָה וּֽ֝נְזַמְּרָה גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃

Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and prayse thy power.
