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。

Praise for Salvation.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

21 Lord, in Your strength the king will (A)be glad,
And in Your [a]salvation how greatly he will rejoice!
You have (B)given him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
For You (C)meet him with the blessings of good things;
You set a (D)crown of pure gold on his head.
He asked for life from You,
You (E)gave it to him,
(F)Length of days forever and ever.
His (G)glory is great through Your [b]salvation,
(H)Splendor and majesty You place upon him.
For You make him [c]most (I)blessed forever;
You make him joyful (J)with the joy of Your presence.

For the king (K)trusts in the Lord,
And through the faithfulness of the Most High (L)he will not be shaken.
Your hand will (M)find all your enemies;
Your right hand will find those who hate you.
You will make them (N)as a fiery oven in the time [d]of your anger;
The Lord will (O)swallow them up in His wrath,
And (P)fire will devour them.
10 You will eliminate their [e]descendants from the earth,
And their [f](Q)children from among the sons of mankind.
11 Though they [g](R)intended evil against You
And (S)devised a plot,
They will not succeed.
12 For You will (T)make them turn their back;
You will take aim at their faces (U)with Your bowstrings.
13 Be exalted, Lord, in Your strength;
We will (V)sing and praise Your power.
