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.

1 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. [ (Psalms 21:14) Verhef U, HERE, in u sterkte; ons wil u heldekrag eer met psalmgesang! ]
