Psalms 21

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.

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

2 Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

תַּאֲוַ֣ת לִ֭בֹּו נָתַ֣תָּה לֹּ֑ו וַאֲרֶ֥שֶׁת שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו בַּל־מָנַ֥עְתָּ סֶּֽלָה׃

3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

כִּֽי־תְ֭קַדְּמֶנּוּ בִּרְכֹ֣ות טֹ֑וב תָּשִׁ֥ית לְ֝רֹאשֹׁ֗ו עֲטֶ֣רֶת פָּֽז׃

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever.

חַיִּ֤ים ׀ שָׁאַ֣ל מִ֭מְּךָ נָתַ֣תָּה לֹּ֑ו אֹ֥רֶךְ יָ֝מִ֗ים עֹולָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃

5 His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.

גָּדֹ֣ול כְּ֭בֹודֹו בִּישׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ הֹ֥וד וְ֝הָדָר תְּשַׁוֶּ֥ה עָלָֽיו׃

6 For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.

כִּֽי־תְשִׁיתֵ֣הוּ בְרָכֹ֣ות לָעַ֑ד תְּחַדֵּ֥הוּ בְ֝שִׂמְחָ֗ה אֶת־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

כִּֽי־הַ֭מֶּלֶךְ בֹּטֵ֣חַ בַּיהוָ֑ה וּבְחֶ֥סֶד עֶ֝לְיֹ֗ון בַּל־יִמֹּֽוט׃

8 Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that hate thee.

תִּמְצָ֣א יָ֭דְךָ לְכָל־אֹיְבֶ֑יךָ יְ֝מִֽינְךָ תִּמְצָ֥א שֹׂנְאֶֽיךָ׃

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

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

10 Thou shalt destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

פִּ֭רְיָמֹו מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תְּאַבֵּ֑ד וְ֝זַרְעָ֗ם מִבְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃

11 For they intended evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

כִּי־נָט֣וּ עָלֶ֣יךָ רָעָ֑ה חָֽשְׁב֥וּ מְ֝זִמָּ֗ה בַּל־יוּכָֽלוּ׃

12 For thou shalt make them [turn their] back in thy latter end, thou wilt prepare their face.

כִּ֭י תְּשִׁיתֵ֣מֹו שֶׁ֑כֶם בְּ֝מֵֽיתָרֶ֗יךָ תְּכֹונֵ֥ן עַל־פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃

13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: we will sing and praise thy mighty acts.

ר֣וּמָה יְהוָ֣ה בְעֻזֶּ֑ךָ נָשִׁ֥ירָה וּֽ֝נְזַמְּרָה גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃
