Psalms 21

lamnatseakh mizmor ledavid

For the leader. A psalm of David.

Adonai be'ozzekha yismakh-melekh uvishu'atekha mah-[yagel] (ygyl) me'od

O ETERNAL One, the king rejoices in Your strength; how greatly he exults in Your victory!

ta'avat libbo natattah lo va'areshet sefatayw bal-manata selah

You have granted him the desire of his heart, have not denied the request of his lips. Selah.

ki-teqaddemennu birkhot tov tashit lerosho ateret paz

You have proffered him blessings of good things, have set upon his head a crown of fine gold.

khayyim sha'al mimmekha natattah lo orekh yamim olam va'ed

He asked You for life; You granted it; a long life, everlasting.

gadol kevodo bishu'atekha hod vehadar teshavveh alayw

Great is his glory through Your victory; You have endowed him with splendor and majesty.

ki-teshitehu verakhot la'ad tekhaddehu vesimkhah et-panekha

You have made him blessed forever, gladdened him with the joy of Your presence.

ki-hammelekh boteakh ba-Adonai uvekhesed elyon bal-yimmot

For the king trusts in GOD; through the faithfulness of the Most High he will not be shaken.

timtsa yadekha lekhol-oyevekha yeminekha timtsa sone'ekha

Your hand is equal to all Your enemies; Your right hand overpowers Your foes.

teshitemo ketannur esh le'et panekha Adonai be'appo yevalle'em vetokhelem esh

You set them ablaze like a furnace when You show Your presence. GOD in anger destroys them; fire consumes them.

piryamo me'erets te'abbed vezaram mibbene adam

You wipe their offspring from the earth, their issue from among humankind.

ki-natu alekha ra'ah khashevu mezimmah bal-yukhalu

For they schemed against You; they laid plans, but could not succeed.

ki teshitemo shekhem bemetarekha tekhonen al-penehem

For You make them turn back by Your bows aimed at their face.

rumah Adonai be'uzzekha nashirah unezammerah gevuratekha

Be exalted, O ETERNAL One, through Your strength; we will sing and chant the praises of Your mighty deeds.
