Psalms 21
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Wa a kontan, Seyè, dèske ou te ba li fòs kouraj. Wa a kontan nèt dèske ou fè l' genyen batay la.
2 You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.
Ou ba li tou sa l' te renmen. Ou pa t' refize l' sa l' te mande ou.
3 You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
Ou vin bò kote l' avèk anpil benediksyon, ou mete yon kouwòn fèt ak bon lò sou tèt li.
4 He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.
Li mande ou lavi, ou ba li l'. Ou ba l' yon lavi ki long, yon lavi ki p'ap janm fini.
5 Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.
Y'ap fè gwo lwanj pou li, paske ou ede l', ou fè yo respekte l', ou ba li bèl pozisyon,
6 You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.
Ou mete benediksyon ou sou li pou tout tan. Ou fè kè l' kontan paske ou la avè l'.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.
Wa a mete konfyans li nan Seyè a. Gremesi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, wa a la pou tout tan.
8 You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.
Wa a ap mete men l' sou tout lènmi l' yo, l'ap mache pran tout moun ki pa vle wè l' yo.
9 When you appear on the scene you will burn them up like in a furnace; the Lord in his anger will destroy them, burning them up with fire.
Lè w'a parèt, w'ap detwi yo tankou yon gwo boukan dife. Lè Seyè a ankòlè, se fini l'ap fini ak yo, dife ap boule yo nèt.
10 You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.
W'ap disparèt tout pitit yo sou latè, w'ap disparèt tout ras yo pami lèzòm.
11 Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.
Y'ap fè move plan, y'ap fè konplo sou wa a, men sa p'ap mache pou yo.
12 They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.
L'ap tire flèch li sou yo, l'ap fè yo kouri ale.
13 Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
Seyè, leve non. Fè yo wè fòs ou! N'a chante, n'a fè lwanj pou jan ou gen pouvwa!
