תְהִלִּים 21

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

To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.

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

The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. (Selah)

3 כִּֽי־תְ֭קַדְּמֶנּוּ בִּרְכֹ֣ות טֹ֑וב תָּשִׁ֥ית לְ֝רֹאשֹׁ֗ו עֲטֶ֣רֶת פָּֽז׃

For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold.

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

Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him — length of days, Age-during — and for ever.

5 גָּדֹ֣ול כְּ֭בֹודֹו בִּישׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ הֹ֥וד וְ֝הָדָר תְּשַׁוֶּ֥ה עָלָֽיו׃

Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.

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

For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.

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

For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved.

8 תִּמְצָ֣א יָ֭דְךָ לְכָל־אֹיְבֶ֑יךָ יְ֝מִֽינְךָ תִּמְצָ֥א שֹׂנְאֶֽיךָ׃

Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.

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

Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.

10 פִּ֭רְיָמֹו מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תְּאַבֵּ֑ד וְ֝זַרְעָ֗ם מִבְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃

Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men.

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

For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,

12 כִּ֭י תְּשִׁיתֵ֣מֹו שֶׁ֑כֶם בְּ֝מֵֽיתָרֶ֗יךָ תְּכֹונֵ֥ן עַל־פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃

For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.

13 ר֣וּמָה יְהוָ֣ה בְעֻזֶּ֑ךָ נָשִׁ֥ירָה וּֽ֝נְזַמְּרָה גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃

Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!
