Psalm 21 | La Bible du Semeur

Merci pour la victoire

1 Au chef de chœur. Cantique de David.

2 O Eternel, ╵le roi se réjouit de ta force. Qu’elle est grande sa joie ╵devant ton œuvre de salut!

3 Tu lui as accordé ╵le désir de son cœur, tu n’as pas refusé ╵ce qu’il te demandait. Pause

4 Tu es venu à lui ╵chargé de bénédictions excellentes, et tu as posé sur sa tête ╵un diadème d’or.

5 Il t’avait demandé la vie, ╵tu la lui as donnée et tu prolongeras ses jours ╵jusqu’en l’éternité.

6 Grâce à la délivrance ╵que tu as accordée, ╵sa gloire est grande, et tu l’as revêtu ╵de splendeur et d’honneur.

7 Tu fais de lui la source ╵de bénédictions éternelles*, tu le remplis de joie ╵par ta présence.

8 Car c’est en l’Eternel ╵que le roi se confie, et grâce à l’amour du Très-Haut, ╵il ne sera pas ébranlé.

9 O roi, tu atteindras ╵tes ennemis; tu frapperas ╵tous ceux qui te haïssent.

10 Tu en feras une fournaise quand tu apparaîtras; dans sa colère, ╵l’Eternel les engloutira et le feu les consumera.

11 Tu extirperas de la terre ╵leurs descendants, et leur postérité ╵du milieu de l’humanité.

12 Ils trament le mal contre toi, ils ont conçu des plans perfides, ╵mais ils ne réussiront pas.

13 Tu les mettras en fuite, en décochant tes flèches ╵sur eux.

14 O Eternel, ╵déploie ta force! Par nos chants et nos hymnes, ╵nous célébrerons ta puissance.

The King Rejoices in the Lord’s Strength

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O Lord, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he exults!

2 You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

3 For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.

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

5 His glory is great through your salvation; splendor and majesty you bestow on him.

6 For you make him most blessed forever;* you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8 Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you.

9 You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath, and fire will consume them.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of man.

11 Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.

12 For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows.

13 Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power.
