(21) Psalm 21
"Vir die musiekleier. 'n Psalm van Dawid. 2 o HERE, die koning is bly oor u sterkte, en hoe baie juig hy oor u hulp! 3 U het hom die wens van sy hart gegee en die begeerte van sy lippe nie geweier nie. Sela. 4 Want U kom hom tegemoet met seëninge van die goeie; op sy hoof sit U 'n kroon van fyn goud. 5 Die lewe het hy van U begeer; U het hom dit gegee: lengte van dae, vir ewig en altyd. 6 Groot is sy eer deur u hulp; majesteit en heerlikheid het U op hom gelê. 7 Want U maak hom baie geseënd vir ewig; U maak hom bly met vreugde by u aangesig. 8 Want die koning vertrou op die HERE, en deur die goedertierenheid van die Allerhoogste sal hy nie wankel nie. 9 U hand sal al u vyande vind; u regterhand sal u haters vind. 10 U sal hulle maak soos 'n vurige oond as U verskyn; die HERE sal hulle verslind in sy toorn, en vuur sal hulle verteer. 11 U sal hulle vrug van die aarde af verdelg en hulle nageslag van die mensekinders af weg. 12 Want hulle het U met onheil bedreig; hulle het 'n listige plan uitgedink sonder om iets uit te rig. 13 Want U sal hulle dwing om te vlug; met u boogsnare sal u mik op hulle gesig. Verhef U, HERE, in u sterkte; ons wil u heldekrag eer met psalmgesang!"
"O Lord, in your strength the king rejoices,
and in your salvation how greatly he exults!
You have given him his heart's desire
and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
For you meet him with rich blessings;
you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
He asked life of you; you gave it to him,
length of days forever and ever.
His glory is great through your salvation;
splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
For you make him most blessed forever;
you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
For the king trusts in the Lord,
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
Your hand will find out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
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.
You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
and their offspring from among the children of man.
Though they plan evil against you,
though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
For you will put them to flight;
you will aim at their faces with your bows.
Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength!
We will sing and praise your power."
