詩篇 21

1 伶長にうたはしめたるダビデのうた ヱホバよ王はなんぢの力によりてたのしみ汝のすくひによりて奈何におほいなる歓喜をなさん

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How greatly he rejoices in your salvation.

2 なんぢ彼がこころの願望をゆるし そのくちびるの求をいなみ給はざりき (セラ)

You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 そはよきたまものの恵をもてかれを迎へ まじりなきこがねの冕弁をもてかれの首にいただかせ給ひたり

For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 かれ生命をもとめしに汝これをあたへてその齢の日を世々かぎりなからしめ給へり

He asked life of you, you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

5 なんぢの救によりてその榮光おほいなり なんぢは尊貴と稜威とをかれに衣せたまふ

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

6 そは之をとこしへに福ひなるものとなし聖顔のまへの歓喜をもて樂しませたまへばなり

For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

7 王はヱホバに依頼み いとたかき者のいつくしみを蒙るがゆゑに動かさるることなからん

For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

8 なんぢの手はそのもろもろの仇をたづねいだし 汝のみぎの手はおのれを憎むものを探ねいだすべし

Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find all those who hate you.

9 なんぢ怒るときは彼等をもゆる爐のごとくにせんヱホバはげしき怒によりてかれらを呑たまはん 火はかれらを食つくさん

You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

10 汝かれらの裔を地よりほろぼし かれらの種を人の子のなかよりほろぼさん

You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the descendants of Adam.

11 かれらは汝にむかひて惡事をくはだて遂がたき謀略をおもひまはせばなり

Though they intend evil against you, devising a wicked scheme, they will not succeed.

12 汝かれらをして背をむけしめ その面にむかひて弓絃をひかん

For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

13 ヱホバよ能力をあらはしてみづからを高くしたまへ 我儕はなんぢの稜威をうたひ且ほめたたへん

Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
