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 Ee Bwana, mfalme huzifurahia nguvu zako. Tazama jinsi ilivyo kuu furaha yake kwa ushindi unaompa!

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

2 Umempa haja ya moyo wake na hukumzuilia maombi ya midomo yake.

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

3 Ulimkaribisha kwa baraka tele na kumvika taji ya dhahabu safi kichwani pake.

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

4 Alikuomba maisha, nawe ukampa, wingi wa siku milele na milele.

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

5 Kutokana na ushindi uliompa, utukufu wake ni mkubwa, umeweka juu yake fahari na utukufu.

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

6 Hakika umempa baraka za milele, umemfanya awe na furaha kwa shangwe ya uwepo wako.

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

7 Kwa kuwa mfalme anamtumaini Bwana; kwa upendo usiokoma wa Aliye Juu Sana hatatikiswa.

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

8 Mkono wako utawashika adui zako wote, mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata adui zako.

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 Wakati utakapojitokeza utawafanya kama tanuru ya moto. Katika ghadhabu yake Bwana atawameza, moto wake utawateketeza.

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

10 Utawaangamiza wazao wao kutoka duniani, uzao wao kutoka wanadamu.

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

11 Ingawa watapanga mabaya dhidi yako na kutunga hila, hawawezi kufanikiwa,

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

12 kwa kuwa utawafanya wakimbie utakapowalenga usoni pao kwa mshale kutoka kwenye upinde wako.

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

13 Ee Bwana, utukuzwe katika nguvu zako, tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.
