颂赞胜利

大卫的诗,交给乐长。

21 耶和华啊,
君王因你的能力而欢欣,
因你的拯救而雀跃。
你满足了他的心愿,
未曾拒绝他的请求。(细拉)
你赐给他丰盛的祝福,
给他戴上纯金的冠冕。
他向你祈求长寿,
你就赐给他永生。
你的救助带给他无限荣耀,
你赐给他尊荣和威严。
你给他的祝福永无穷尽,
你的同在使他充满喜乐。
君王信靠耶和华,
靠着至高者的慈爱必不动摇。

耶和华啊,
你的手必寻索你的敌人,
你用右手搜出所有恨你的人。
你一出现,
他们便像身在火炉中,
你在烈怒中吞灭他们,
你的烈火烧灭他们。
10 你必从世上铲除他们的子孙,
从人间灭绝他们的后裔。
11 他们虽然用阴谋诡计对抗你,
却不能成功。
12 你必弯弓搭箭瞄准他们,
使他们掉头逃跑。
13 耶和华啊,愿你彰显大能,受人尊崇!
我们要歌颂、赞美你的权能。

Gratidão pela vitória

Ao diretor do coro. Salmo de Davi.

21 SENHOR, o rei está contente pela força que lhe dá,
    e se alegra na vitória que o Senhor lhe concede.
O Senhor lhe deu tudo o que o seu coração desejava,
    não rejeitou o pedido dos seus lábios. Selah

Abençoou o rei com grandes bênçãos,
    colocou na sua cabeça uma coroa de ouro puro.
Ele pediu ao Senhor pela sua vida
    e o Senhor deu a ele uma vida longa e eterna.
A sua salvação lhe trouxe glória,
    o cobriu de majestade e honra.
O Senhor o aceitou na sua presença
    e o abençoou, fez com que ele ficasse feliz para sempre.
O rei confia no SENHOR,
    e, por causa do amor fiel do Altíssimo, ele não será abalado.

O rei vencerá todos os seus inimigos,
    é mais forte do que aqueles que o odeiam.
Quando o Senhor aparecer diante deles,
    eles serão queimados como se estivessem num forno aceso.
    Na sua fúria, o SENHOR os consumirá com fogo.
10 Todos os seus filhos serão destruídos,
    os seus descendentes serão expulsos da terra.
11 Eles queriam fazer mal ao rei,
    prepararam tudo, mas nada conseguiram.
12 Porque ele apontou o seu arco
    e os fez fugir.

13 Mostre, ó SENHOR, a sua força!
    Nós cantaremos louvores ao seu poder.

Psalm 21

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

The king [David] shall joy in Your strength, O Lord; and in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah [pause, and think of that]!

For You send blessings of good things to meet him; You set a crown of pure gold on his head.

He asked life of You, and You gave it to him—long life forever and evermore.

His glory is great because of Your aid; splendor and majesty You bestow upon him.

For You make him to be blessed and a blessing forever; You make him exceedingly glad with the joy of Your presence.(A)

For the king trusts, relies on, and is confident in the Lord, and through the mercy and steadfast love of the Most High he will never be moved.

Your hand shall find all Your enemies; Your right hand shall find all those who hate You.

You will make them as if in a blazing oven in the time of Your anger; the Lord will swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire will utterly consume them.

10 Their offspring You will destroy from the earth, and their sons from among the children of men.

11 For they planned evil against You; they conceived a mischievous plot which they are not able to perform.

12 For You will make them turn their backs; You will aim Your bow [of divine justice] at their faces.

13 Be exalted, Lord, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.

Psalm 21[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

The king rejoices in your strength, Lord.(A)
    How great is his joy in the victories you give!(B)

You have granted him his heart’s desire(C)
    and have not withheld the request of his lips.[b]
You came to greet him with rich blessings
    and placed a crown of pure gold(D) on his head.(E)
He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—
    length of days, for ever and ever.(F)
Through the victories(G) you gave, his glory is great;
    you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.(H)
Surely you have granted him unending blessings
    and made him glad with the joy(I) of your presence.(J)
For the king trusts in the Lord;(K)
    through the unfailing love(L) of the Most High(M)
    he will not be shaken.(N)

Your hand will lay hold(O) on all your enemies;
    your right hand will seize your foes.
When you appear for battle,
    you will burn them up as in a blazing furnace.
The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath,
    and his fire will consume them.(P)
10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
    their posterity from mankind.(Q)
11 Though they plot evil(R) against you
    and devise wicked schemes,(S) they cannot succeed.
12 You will make them turn their backs(T)
    when you aim at them with drawn bow.

13 Be exalted(U) in your strength, Lord;(V)
    we will sing and praise your might.
