Tehillim

21

לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד:

For the conductor, a song about David.

יְהוָה בְּעָזְּךָ יִשְׂמַח מֶלֶךְ וּבִישׁוּעָתְךָ מַה יָּגֶיל מְאֹד:

O Lord, may the king rejoice with Your strength, and how greatly does he exult with Your salvation!

תַּאֲוַת לִבּוֹ נָתַתָּה לּוֹ וַאֲרֶשֶׁת שְׂפָתָיו בַּל מָנַעְתָּ סֶּלָה:

You gave him his heart's desire, and the speech of his lips You have never withheld.

כִּי תְקַדְּמֶנּוּ בִּרְכוֹת טוֹב תָּשִׁית לְרֹאשׁוֹ עֲטֶרֶת פָּז:

For You have preceded him with the blessings of the good man; You have placed a gold crown on his head.

חַיִּים שָׁאַל מִמְּךָ נָתַתָּה לּוֹ אֹרֶךְ יָמִים עוֹלָם וָעֶד:

He asked You for life; You gave it to him, length of days forever and ever.

גָּדוֹל כְּבוֹדוֹ בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ הוֹד וְהָדָר תְּשַׁוֶּה עָלָיו:

His glory is great in Your salvation; majesty and beauty You place upon him.

כִּי תְשִׁיתֵהוּ בְרָכוֹת לָעַד תְּחַדֵּהוּ בְשִׂמְחָה אֶת פָּנֶיךָ:

For You make him blessings forever; You shall make him happy with joy before You.

כִּי הַמֶּלֶךְ בֹּטֵחַ בַּיהוָה וּבְחֶסֶד עֶלְיוֹן בַּל יִמּוֹט:

For the king trusts in the Lord and in the loving- kindness of the Most High, that he should not falter.

תִּמְצָא יָדְךָ לְכָל אֹיְבֶיךָ יְמִינְךָ תִּמְצָא שֹׂנְאֶיךָ:

Your hand shall suffice for all Your enemies; Your right hand shall suffice for those who hate You.

תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ כְּתַנּוּר אֵשׁ לְעֵת פָּנֶיךָ יְהוָה בְּאַפּוֹ יְבַלְּעֵם וְתֹאכְלֵם אֵשׁ:

You shall place them as a fiery furnace at the time of Your anger; may the Lord destroy them with His wrath and may fire consume them.

פִּרְיָמוֹ מֵאֶרֶץ תְּאַבֵּד וְזַרְעָם מִבְּנֵי אָדָם:

You shall destroy their fruit from the earth and their seed from the sons of man.

כִּי נָטוּ עָלֶיךָ רָעָה חָשְׁבוּ מְזִמָּה בַּל יוּכָלוּ:

For they have directed evil against You; they have devised a plot that they cannot [execute].

כִּי תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ שֶׁכֶם בְּמֵיתָרֶיךָ תְּכוֹנֵן עַל פְּנֵיהֶם:

For You shall place them as a portion; with Your bowstrings You shall set [Your arrows] toward their faces.

רוּמָה יְהוָה בְּעֻזֶּךָ נָשִׁירָה וּנְזַמְּרָה גְּבוּרָתֶךָ:

Exalt Yourself, O Lord, with Your strength; let us sing and chant of Your might.
