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! (MT 21:2; LXX 20:1; LXX 20:2; Rahlfs 20:1; Rahlfs 20:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
2Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. (MT 21:3; LXX 20:3; Rahlfs 20:3)
יְֽהוָ֗ה בְּעָזְּךָ֥ יִשְׂמַח־מֶ֑לֶךְ וּ֝בִישׁ֥וּעָתְךָ֗ מַה־יגיל מְאֹֽד׃
3For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. (MT 21:4; LXX 20:4; Rahlfs 20:4)
תַּאֲוַ֣ת לִ֭בּוֹ נָתַ֣תָּה לּ֑וֹ וַאֲרֶ֥שֶׁת שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו בַּל־מָנַ֥עְתָּ סֶּֽלָה׃
4He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. (MT 21:5; LXX 20:5; Rahlfs 20:5)
כִּֽי־תְ֭קַדְּמֶנּוּ בִּרְכ֣וֹת ט֑וֹב תָּשִׁ֥ית לְ֝רֹאשׁ֗וֹ עֲטֶ֣רֶת פָּֽז׃
5His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. (MT 21:6; LXX 20:6; Rahlfs 20:6)
חַיִּ֤ים ׀ שָׁאַ֣ל מִ֭מְּךָ נָתַ֣תָּה לּ֑וֹ אֹ֥רֶךְ יָ֝מִ֗ים עוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃
6For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. (MT 21:7; LXX 20:7; Rahlfs 20:7)
גָּד֣וֹל כְּ֭בוֹדוֹ בִּישׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ ה֥וֹד וְ֝הָדָר תְּשַׁוֶּ֥ה עָלָֽיו׃
7For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. (MT 21:8; LXX 20:8; Rahlfs 20:8)
כִּֽי־תְשִׁיתֵ֣הוּ בְרָכ֣וֹת לָעַ֑ד תְּחַדֵּ֥הוּ בְ֝שִׂמְחָ֗ה אֶת־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃
8Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. (MT 21:9; LXX 20:9; Rahlfs 20:9)
כִּֽי־הַ֭מֶּלֶךְ בֹּטֵ֣חַ בַּיהוָ֑ה וּבְחֶ֥סֶד עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן בַּל־יִמּֽוֹט׃
9Thou 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. (MT 21:10; LXX 20:10; Rahlfs 20:10)
תִּמְצָ֣א יָ֭דְךָ לְכָל־אֹיְבֶ֑יךָ יְ֝מִֽינְךָ תִּמְצָ֥א שֹׂנְאֶֽיךָ׃
10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. (MT 21:11; LXX 20:11; Rahlfs 20:11)
תְּשִׁיתֵ֤מוֹ ׀ כְּתַנּ֥וּר אֵשׁ֮ לְעֵ֪ת פָּ֫נֶ֥יךָ יְ֭הוָה בְּאַפּ֣וֹ יְבַלְּעֵ֑ם וְֽתֹאכְלֵ֥ם אֵֽשׁ׃
11For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. (MT 21:12; LXX 20:12; Rahlfs 20:12)
פִּ֭רְיָמוֹ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תְּאַבֵּ֑ד וְ֝זַרְעָ֗ם מִבְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃
12Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. (MT 21:13; LXX 20:13; Rahlfs 20:13)
כִּי־נָט֣וּ עָלֶ֣יךָ רָעָ֑ה חָֽשְׁב֥וּ מְ֝זִמָּ֗ה בַּל־יוּכָֽלוּ׃
13Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power. (MT 21:14; LXX 20:14; Rahlfs 20:14)
כִּ֭י תְּשִׁיתֵ֣מוֹ שֶׁ֑כֶם בְּ֝מֵֽיתָרֶ֗יךָ תְּכוֹנֵ֥ן עַל־פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
