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。

Thanksgiving for the King

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

21 Lord, the king rejoices because of your strength;
    he is so happy when you ·save him [give him victory/help]!
You gave the king ·what he wanted [L the desire of his heart]
    and did not ·refuse [withhold] ·what he asked for [L the request of his lips]. ·Selah [Interlude]

You put ·good things [rich blessings] before him
    and placed a gold crown on his head.
He asked you for life,
    and you gave it to him,
    ·so his years go on and on [L length of days forever and ever].
He has great glory because you gave him ·victories [help];
    you gave him ·honor [splendor] and ·praise [majesty].
You ·always [forever] gave him blessings;
    you made him glad because ·you were with him [L of the joy of your presence].
The king truly ·trusts [has confidence in] the Lord.
    Because God Most High always ·loves [is loyal toward] him,
    he will not be ·overwhelmed [moved].
Your hand ·is against [L will find out] all your enemies;
    ·those who hate you will feel your power [L your right hand will find out those who hate you].
When ·you [L the Lord] appear,
    you will burn them as in a furnace.
In your anger you will swallow them up,
    and fire will burn them up.
10 You will destroy their ·families [offspring] from the earth;
    their ·children [L seed] will not live.
11 They made evil plans against you,
    but ·their traps [L the schemes they devise] won’t ·work [succeed].
12 You will make them turn their backs
    when you aim your arrows at ·them [L their faces].
13 Be ·supreme [exalted], Lord, in your power.
    We sing and praise your ·greatness [strength].
