Psalmi 21

1 Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Kungs, par Tavu spēku ķēniņš priecājās, un cik ļoti viņš līksmojās par Tavu pestīšanu!

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” O Lord, because of thy strength will the king rejoice; and through thy salvation how greatly will he be glad!

2 Tu viņam dod, ko viņa sirds kāro, un neliedzi, ko viņa mute lūdz. (Sela)

The longing of his heart hast thou given him, and the request of his lips hast thou not withholden. (Selah)

3 Jo Tu nāci viņam pretim ar labu svētīšanu, Tu lieci uz viņa galvu kroni no šķīsta zelta.

For thou meetest him unasked with the blessings of happiness: thou settest on his head a crown of pure gold.

4 Viņš lūdz no Tevis dzīvību, to Tu viņam esi devis, ilgu dzīvošanu mūžīgi mūžam.

Life hath he asked of thee, thou gavest it to him, length of days for ever and ever.

5 Viņam ir liela godība caur Tavu pestīšanu, Tu lieci godību un jaukumu uz viņu.

Great is his honor through thy help: glory and majesty thou layest upon him.

6 Jo Tu viņu iecēli par svētību mūžīgi, Savā priekšā Tu viņu iepriecini ar prieku.

For thou appointest him to be a blessing for ever: thou makest him glad with joy from thy presence.

7 Jo ķēniņš cerē uz To Kungu, un caur tā Visuaugstākā žēlastību viņš nešaubīsies.

For the king trusteth in the Lord; and through the kindness of the Most High shall he not be moved.

8 Tava roka atradīs visus Tavus ienaidniekus, Tava labā roka atradīs Tavus nīdētājus.

Thy hand will reach all thy enemies: thy right hand will reach those that hate thee.

9 Tu tos darīsi kā degošu cepli Savas dusmības laikā; Tas Kungs tos aprīs Savā bardzībā, un uguns tos norīs.

Thou wilt render them as a fiery oven at the time of thy anger: the Lord in his wrath will destroy them, and a fire will devour them.

10 Viņu augļus Tu nomaitāsi no zemes virsas un viņu dzimumu no cilvēku bērniem.

Their fruit wilt thou cause to perish from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

11 Jo tie ļaunu pret Tevi darījuši, tie izdomāja negantību, bet nespēja to izdarīt.

For they directed against thee evil: they devised a mischievous purpose, which they were not able to perform.

12 Tu darīsi, ka tie griež muguru, Savu stopu Tu stiepsi pret viņu vaigiem.

For thou wilt make them turn their back; upon thy bow-strings thou wilt make ready [thy arrows] against their face.

13 Paaugstinājies, Kungs, Savā stiprumā, tad dziedāsim un teiksim Tavu varu ar dziesmām.

Exalt thyself, O Lord, in thy strength; [and] we will sing and praise thy power.
