Psalms 21

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

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

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

3 你以美福迎接他， 把精金的冠冕戴在他頭上。

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

4 他向你求壽，你便賜給他， 就是日子長久，直到永遠。

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

5 他因你的救恩大有榮耀； 你又將尊榮威嚴加在他身上。

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

6 你使他有洪福，直到永遠， 又使他在你面前歡喜快樂。

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

7 王倚靠耶和華， 因至高者的慈愛必不搖動。

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

8 你的手要搜出你的一切仇敵； 你的右手要搜出那些恨你的人。

9 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.

9 你發怒的時候，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； 那火要把他們燒盡了。

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

10 你必從世上滅絕他們的子孫 ， 從人間滅絕他們的後裔。

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

11 因為他們有意加害於你； 他們想出計謀，卻不能做成。

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

12 你必使他們轉背逃跑， 向他們的臉搭箭在弦。

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

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。
