21 耶和華啊!王因你的力量快樂,

因你的救恩大大歡呼。

他心裡所願的,你賜給了他;

他嘴唇所求的,你沒有拒絕。(細拉)

你以美福迎接他,

把精金的冠冕戴在他頭上。

他向你求壽,你就賜給他,

就是長久的日子,直到永遠。

他因你的救恩大有榮耀,

你又把尊榮和威嚴加給他。

你把永遠的福分賜給他,

又使他因與你同在的喜樂歡欣。

王倚靠耶和華,

靠著至高者的慈愛,他必不至動搖。

你的手要搜出你所有的仇敵,

你的右手必搜出那些恨你的人。

你出現的時候,就要使他們像熾熱的火爐;

耶和華必在他的震怒中吞滅他們,火必燒滅他們。

10 你必從地上除滅他們的子孫,

從人間除滅他們的後裔。

11 雖然他們定下惡計害你,

他們所設的陰謀卻不能成功。

12 你的箭扣上弦,對準他們的臉的時候,

他們必轉身而逃。

13 耶和華啊!願你因自己的能力被尊崇,

好讓我們歌唱,頌讚你的大能。

The King Trusts in Yahweh

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

21 O Yahweh, 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. [b]Selah.
For You (C)meet him with the blessings of good things;
You set a (D)crown of fine gold on his head.
He asked life of You,
You (E)gave it to him,
(F)Length of days forever and ever.
His (G)glory is great through Your [c]salvation,
(H)Splendor and majesty You bestow upon him.
For You make him [d]most (I)blessed forever;
You make him joyful (J)with gladness in Your presence.

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