頌讚勝利

大衛的詩,交給樂長。

21 耶和華啊,
君王因你的能力而歡欣,
因你的拯救而雀躍。
你滿足了他的心願,
未曾拒絕他的請求。(細拉)
你賜給他豐盛的祝福,
給他戴上純金的冠冕。
他向你祈求長壽,
你就賜給他永生。
你的救助帶給他無限榮耀,
你賜給他尊榮和威嚴。
你給他的祝福永無窮盡,
你的同在使他充滿喜樂。
君王信靠耶和華,
靠著至高者的慈愛必不動搖。

耶和華啊,
你的手必尋索你的敵人,
你用右手搜出所有恨你的人。
你一出現,
他們便像身在火爐中,
你在烈怒中吞滅他們,
你的烈火燒滅他們。
10 你必從世上剷除他們的子孫,
從人間滅絕他們的後裔。
11 他們雖然用陰謀詭計對抗你,
卻不能成功。
12 你必彎弓搭箭瞄準他們,
使他們掉頭逃跑。
13 耶和華啊,願你彰顯大能,受人尊崇!
我們要歌頌、讚美你的權能。

The King Rejoices in the Lord's Strength

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

21 O Lord, in your (A)strength the king rejoices,
    and in your (B)salvation how greatly he exults!
You have (C)given him his heart's desire
    and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
For you (D)meet him with rich blessings;
    you set (E)a crown of (F)fine gold upon his head.
He asked life of you; you (G)gave it to him,
    (H)length of days forever and ever.
His (I)glory is great through your salvation;
    (J)splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
For you make him most blessed forever;[a]
    you make him glad with the (K)joy of your presence.
For the king trusts in the Lord,
    and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be (L)moved.

Your hand will (M)find out all your enemies;
    your right hand will find out those who hate you.
You will make them as (N)a blazing oven
    when you appear.
The Lord will swallow them up in his (O)wrath,
    and (P)fire will consume them.
10 You (Q)will destroy their (R)descendants from the earth,
    and their offspring from among the children of man.
11 Though they plan evil against you,
    though they (S)devise mischief, they will not succeed.
12 For you will put them (T)to flight;
    you will (U)aim at their faces with your bows.

13 Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength!
    We will sing and praise your power.

Joy in the Salvation of the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

21 The king shall have 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 (A)request of his lips. Selah

For You meet him with the blessings of goodness;
You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
(B)He asked life from You, and You gave it to him—
Length of days forever and ever.
His glory is great in Your salvation;
Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.
For You have made him most blessed forever;
(C)You have made him [a]exceedingly glad with Your presence.
For the king trusts in the Lord,
And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be [b]moved.

Your hand will find all Your enemies;
Your right hand will find those who hate You.
You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger;
The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath,
And the fire shall devour them.
10 Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth,
And their [c]descendants from among the sons of men.
11 For they intended evil against You;
They devised a plot which they are not able to (D)perform.
12 Therefore You will make them turn their back;
You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.

13 Be exalted, O Lord, in Your own strength!
We will sing and praise Your power.
