Psalm 21
English Standard Version
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!
2 You have (C)given him his heart's desire
and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
3 For you (D)meet him with rich blessings;
you set (E)a crown of (F)fine gold upon his head.
4 He asked life of you; you (G)gave it to him,
(H)length of days forever and ever.
5 His (I)glory is great through your salvation;
(J)splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
6 For you make him most blessed forever;[a]
you make him glad with the (K)joy of your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord,
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be (L)moved.
8 Your hand will (M)find out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9 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.

詩篇 21
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
大衛的詩。交給聖詠團長。
為勝利而歌頌
21 耶和華啊，王必因你的能力歡喜；
因你的救恩，他的快樂何其大！
2 他心裏所願的，你已經賜給他；
他嘴唇所求的，你未嘗不應允。（細拉）
3 你以美善的福氣迎接他，
把純金的冠冕戴在他頭上。
4 他向你祈求長壽，你就賜給他，
就是日子長久，直到永遠。
5 他因你的救恩大有榮耀，
你將尊榮威嚴加在他身上。
6 你使他有洪福，直到永遠，
又使他在你面前歡喜快樂。
7 王倚靠耶和華，
因至高者的慈愛，王必不動搖。
8 你的手要搜出所有的仇敵，
你的右手要搜出那些恨你的人。
9 你的臉出現的時候，要使他們如在炎熱的火爐中。
耶和華要在他的震怒中吞滅他們，
那火要把他們燒盡。
10 你必從世上滅絕他們的幼苗，
從人間滅絕他們的後裔。
11 因為他們有意加害於你；
他們想出計謀，卻不能做成。
12 你必使他們轉身逃跑，
向着他們的臉搭箭在弦。
13 耶和華啊，願你因自己的能力顯為至高！
這樣，我們就唱詩，歌頌你的大能。
Psalm 21
King James Version
21 The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7 For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13 Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
