Psalm 21 (WEBP)

[1] The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
[2] You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
[3] For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
[4] He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
[5] His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.
[6] For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
[7] For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
[8] Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
[9] You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
[10] You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.
[11] For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
[12] For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
[13] Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.

Psalm 21 (BYZ)

[1] [20:1] εις το τελος ψαλμος τω δαυιδ [20:2] κυριε εν τη δυναμει σου ευφρανθησεται ο βασιλευς και επι τω σωτηριω σου αγαλλιασεται σφοδρα
[2] [20:3] την επιθυμιαν της ψυχης αυτου εδωκας αυτω και την θελησιν των χειλεων αυτου ουκ εστερησας αυτον διαψαλμα
[3] [20:4] οτι προεφθασας αυτον εν ευλογιαις χρηστοτητος εθηκας επι την κεφαλην αυτου στεφανον εκ λιθου τιμιου
[4] [20:5] ζωην ητησατο σε και εδωκας αυτω μακροτητα ημερων εις αιωνα αιωνος
[5] [20:6] μεγαλη η δοξα αυτου εν τω σωτηριω σου δοξαν και μεγαλοπρεπειαν επιθησεις επ αυτον
[6] [20:7] οτι δωσεις αυτω ευλογιαν εις αιωνα αιωνος ευφρανεις αυτον εν χαρα μετα του προσωπου σου
[7] [20:8] οτι ο βασιλευς ελπιζει επι κυριον και εν τω ελεει του υψιστου ου μη σαλευθη
[8] [20:9] ευρεθειη η χειρ σου πασιν τοις εχθροις σου η δεξια σου ευροι παντας τους μισουντας σε
[9] [20:10] θησεις αυτους ως κλιβανον πυρος εις καιρον του προσωπου σου κυριος εν οργη αυτου συνταραξει αυτους και καταφαγεται αυτους πυρ
[10] [20:11] τον καρπον αυτων απο γης απολεις και το σπερμα αυτων απο υιων ανθρωπων
[11] [20:12] οτι εκλιναν εις σε κακα διελογισαντο βουλην ην ου μη δυνωνται στησαι
[12] [20:13] οτι θησεις αυτους νωτον εν τοις περιλοιποις σου ετοιμασεις το προσωπον αυτων
[13] [20:14] υψωθητι κυριε εν τη δυναμει σου ασομεν και ψαλουμεν τας δυναστειας σου
