< תהילים 21 >

לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ יְֽהוָה בְּעָזְּךָ יִשְׂמַח־מֶלֶךְ וּבִישׁוּעָתְךָ מַה־יגיל יָּגֶל מְאֹֽד׃ 1
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!
תַּאֲוַת לִבּוֹ נָתַתָּה לּוֹ וַאֲרֶשֶׁת שְׂפָתָיו בַּל־מָנַעְתָּ סֶּֽלָה׃ 2
You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)
כִּֽי־תְקַדְּמֶנּוּ בִּרְכוֹת טוֹב תָּשִׁית לְרֹאשׁוֹ עֲטֶרֶת פָּֽז׃ 3
For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.
חַיִּים ׀ שָׁאַל מִמְּךָ נָתַתָּה לּוֹ אֹרֶךְ יָמִים עוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃ 4
He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.
גָּדוֹל כְּבוֹדוֹ בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ הוֹד וְהָדָר תְּשַׁוֶּה עָלָֽיו׃ 5
His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.
כִּֽי־תְשִׁיתֵהוּ בְרָכוֹת לָעַד תְּחַדֵּהוּ בְשִׂמְחָה אֶת־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃ 6
For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.
כִּֽי־הַמֶּלֶךְ בֹּטֵחַ בַּיהוָה וּבְחֶסֶד עֶלְיוֹן בַּל־יִמּֽוֹט׃ 7
For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.
תִּמְצָא יָדְךָ לְכָל־אֹיְבֶיךָ יְמִֽינְךָ תִּמְצָא שֹׂנְאֶֽיךָ׃ 8
Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.
תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ ׀ כְּתַנּוּר אֵשׁ לְעֵת פָּנֶיךָ יְהוָה בְּאַפּוֹ יְבַלְּעֵם וְֽתֹאכְלֵם אֵֽשׁ׃ 9
You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.
פִּרְיָמוֹ מֵאֶרֶץ תְּאַבֵּד וְזַרְעָם מִבְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃ 10
Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
כִּי־נָטוּ עָלֶיךָ רָעָה חָֽשְׁבוּ מְזִמָּה בַּל־יוּכָֽלוּ׃ 11
For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.
כִּי תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ שֶׁכֶם בְּמֵֽיתָרֶיךָ תְּכוֹנֵן עַל־פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃ 12
Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.
רוּמָה יְהוָה בְּעֻזֶּךָ נָשִׁירָה וּֽנְזַמְּרָה גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃ 13
Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
