(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
Thanking the Lord for Victory
1 Our Lord, your mighty power
makes the king glad,
and he celebrates victories
that you have given him.
2 You did what he wanted most
and never told him “No.”
3 You truly blessed the king,
and you placed on him
a crown of finest gold.
4 He asked to live a long time,
and you promised him life
that never ends.
5 The king is highly honored.
You have let him win victories
that have made him famous.
6 You have given him blessings
that will last forever,
and you have made him glad
by being so near to him.
7 Lord Most High,
the king trusts you,
and your kindness
keeps him from defeat.
8 With your mighty arm, Lord,
you will strike down all
of your hateful enemies.
9 They will be destroyed by fire
once you are here,
and because of your anger,
flames will swallow them.
10 You will wipe their families
from the earth,
and they will disappear.
11 All their plans to harm you
will come to nothing.
12 You will make them run away
by shooting your arrows
at their faces.
13 Show your strength, Lord,
so that we may sing
and praise your power.
Ķēniņš priecājas par Kunga spēku
1 Korvedim. Dāvida psalms .
2 Kungs, par tavu spēku priecājas ķēniņš,
kad tu viņu glāb, redzi, viņš līksmo!
3 Pēc kā viņa sirds alkst, tu viņam dod,
ko viņa lūpas lūdz, tu viņam neliedz.
4 Tu nāc tam pretī ar dāsnu svētību,
tu liec tam galvā tīrzelta kroni.
5 Viņš lūdza tev mūžu, tu viņam to devi –
ilgs viņa dienas mūžīgi mūžam.
6 Viņa godība liela, jo tu viņu sargā,
godā un slavā tu viņu ietērp,
7 tu viņam dāvā svētību mūžam,
liec priekā tam līksmot tavā priekšā.
8 Ķēniņš paļaujas uz Kungu –
Visuaugstais to mīl, un tas neklups.
9 Tava roka ķers visus tavus naidniekus,
tava labā roka ķers tavus nīdējus,
10 tu metīsi viņus kā degošā krāsnī –
kad tu parādīsies!
Kungs savās dusmās viņus aprīs,
un apēdīs viņus uguns!
11 Viņu pēcnācējus tu izdeldēsi no zemes
un viņu sēklu no cilvēkbērniem!
12 Tie gatavo ļaunu pret tevi,
viltu tie kaļ, bet nejaudā,
13 jo tu tiem liec muguru pagriezt,
kad savus lokus tu griez tiem vaigā!
14 Celies, Kungs, savā spēkā!
Mēs dziedam un spēlējam tavai varenībai.
