Psalms 21

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, Jehovah; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice.

大衛的詩，交與伶長。 耶和華啊，王必因你的能力歡喜； 因你的救恩，他的快樂何其大！

2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Selah)

他心裏所願的，你已經賜給他； 他嘴唇所求的，你未嘗不應允。 (細拉)

3 For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

你以美福迎接他， 把精金的冠冕戴在他頭上。

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

他向你求壽，你便賜給他， 就是日子長久，直到永遠。

5 His glory is great through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.

他因你的救恩大有榮耀； 你又將尊榮威嚴加在他身上。

6 For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.

你使他有洪福，直到永遠， 又使他在你面前歡喜快樂。

7 For the king confideth in Jehovah: and through the loving-kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

王倚靠耶和華， 因至高者的慈愛必不搖動。

8 Thy hand shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

你的手要搜出你的一切仇敵； 你的右手要搜出那些恨你的人。

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, and the fire shall devour them:

你發怒的時候，要使他們如在炎熱的火爐中。 耶和華要在他的震怒中吞滅他們； 那火要把他們燒盡了。

10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

你必從世上滅絕他們的子孫， 從人間滅絕他們的後裔。

11 For they intended evil against thee; they imagined a mischievous device, which they could not execute.

因為他們有意加害於你； 他們想出計謀，卻不能做成。

12 For thou wilt make them turn their back; thou wilt make ready thy bowstring against their face.

你必使他們轉背逃跑， 向他們的臉搭箭在弦。

13 Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.

耶和華啊，願你因自己的能力顯為至高！ 這樣，我們就唱詩，歌頌你的大能。
