Psalms 21

לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃

יְֽהוָ֗ה בְּעָזְּךָ֥ יִשְׂמַח־מֶ֑לֶךְ וּ֝בִישׁ֥וּעָתְךָ֗ מַה־(יגיל) [יָּ֥גֶל] מְאֹֽד׃

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

תַּאֲוַ֣ת לִ֭בּוֹ נָתַ֣תָּה לּ֑וֹ וַאֲרֶ֥שֶׁת שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו בַּל־מָנַ֥עְתָּ סֶּֽלָה׃

You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

כִּֽי־תְ֭קַדְּמֶנּוּ בִּרְכ֣וֹת ט֑וֹב תָּשִׁ֥ית לְ֝רֹאשׁ֗וֹ עֲטֶ֣רֶת פָּֽז׃

For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

חַיִּ֤ים ׀ שָׁאַ֣ל מִ֭מְּךָ נָתַ֣תָּה לּ֑וֹ אֹ֥רֶךְ יָ֝מִ֗ים עוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃

He asked You for life, and You granted it—length of days, forever and ever.

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

גָּד֣וֹל כְּ֭בוֹדוֹ בִּישׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ ה֥וֹד וְ֝הָדָר תְּשַׁוֶּ֥ה עָלָֽיו׃

Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.

His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

כִּֽי־תְשִׁיתֵ֣הוּ בְרָכ֣וֹת לָעַ֑ד תְּחַדֵּ֥הוּ בְ֝שִׂמְחָ֗ה אֶת־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃

For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

כִּֽי־הַ֭מֶּלֶךְ בֹּטֵ֣חַ בַּיהוָ֑ה וּבְחֶ֥סֶד עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן בַּל־יִמּֽוֹט׃

For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.

For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

תִּמְצָ֣א יָ֭דְךָ לְכָל־אֹיְבֶ֑יךָ יְ֝מִֽינְךָ תִּמְצָ֥א שֹׂנְאֶֽיךָ׃

Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.

Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

תְּשִׁיתֵ֤מוֹ ׀ כְּתַנּ֥וּר אֵשׁ֮ לְעֵ֪ת פָּ֫נֶ֥יךָ יְ֭הוָה בְּאַפּ֣וֹ יְבַלְּעֵ֑ם וְֽתֹאכְלֵ֥ם אֵֽשׁ׃

You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.

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.

פִּ֭רְיָמוֹ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תְּאַבֵּ֑ד וְ֝זַרְעָ֗ם מִבְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃

You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

כִּי־נָט֣וּ עָלֶ֣יךָ רָעָ֑ה חָֽשְׁב֥וּ מְ֝זִמָּ֗ה בַּל־יוּכָֽלוּ׃

Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.

For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

כִּ֭י תְּשִׁיתֵ֣מוֹ שֶׁ֑כֶם בְּ֝מֵֽיתָרֶ֗יךָ תְּכוֹנֵ֥ן עַל־פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃

For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.

Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

ר֣וּמָה יְהוָ֣ה בְּעֻזֶּ֑ךָ נָשִׁ֥ירָה וּֽ֝נְזַמְּרָה גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃

Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.

Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
