Psalm 21 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Lovsang efter sejren

1 Til korlederen: En sang af David.

2 Herre, kongen glæder sig over din magt, han råber af fryd over din sejr.

3 Du har opfyldt hans hjertes ønske, ikke nægtet ham, hvad han bad dig om.

4 Du kom til ham med rige gaver. Du satte en gylden krone på hans hoved.

5 Han bad om din velsignelse over sit liv, og du lovede ham et varigt dynasti.

6 Du gav ham sejre og berømmelse, du tildelte ham ære og værdighed.

7 Din velsignelse følger ham altid, dit nærvær fylder ham med usigelig glæde.

8 Han stoler på Herren og skal aldrig snuble, for den Almægtiges trofaste nåde bevarer ham.

9 Du opsporer alle dine fjender, tilintetgør enhver, som hader dig.

10 Når du viser dig, brænder de op som i en ovn, du opsluger dem i vrede, lader ild fortære dem.

11 Du fjerner deres børn fra jordens overflade, deres slægt dør fuldstændig ud.

12 Selv om de sætter sig op imod dig, vil deres onde planer ikke lykkes.

13 De vender om og flygter, når du sender dine pile.

14 Rejs dig, Herre, i din vældige styrke. Med sang og spil vil vi lovprise din magt.

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.
