1 Til Korherren. Salme af David (21:2) HERRE, Kongen er glad ved din Vælde, hvor frydes han højlig over din Frelse!

1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David.O Lord, in Your strength the king will be glad,And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice!

2 (21:3) Hvad hans Hjerte ønskede, gav du ham, du afslog ikke hans Læbers Bøn. - Sela.

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

3 (21:4) Du kom ham i Møde med rig Velsignelse, satte en Krone af Guld på hans Hoved.

3 For You meet him with the blessings of good things;You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 (21:5) Han bad dig om Liv, og du gav ham det, en Række af Dage uden Ende.

4 He asked life of You,You gave it to him,Length of days forever and ever.

5 (21:6) Stor er hans Glans ved din Frelse, Højhed og Hæder lægger du på ham.

5 His glory is great through Your salvation,Splendor and majesty You place upon him.

6 (21:7) Ja, evig Velsignelse gav du ham, med Fryd for dit Åsyn glæded du ham.

6 For You make him most blessed forever;You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence.

7 (21:8) Thi Kongen stoler på HERREN, ved den Højestes Nåde rokkes han ikke.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord,And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken.

8 (21:9) Til alle dine Fjender når din Hånd, din højre når dine Avindsmænd.

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

9 (21:10) Du gør dem til et luende Bål, når du viser dig; HERREN sluger dem i sin Vrede. Ild fortærer dem.

9 You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger;The Lord will swallow them up in His wrath,And fire will devour them.

10 (21:11) Du rydder bort deres Frugt af Jorden, deres Sæd blandt Menneskens Børn.

10 Their offspring You will destroy from the earth,And their descendants from among the sons of men.

11 (21:12) Thi de søger at volde dig ondt, spinder Rænker, men evner intet;

11 Though they intended evil against YouAnd devised a plot,They will not succeed.

12 (21:13) thi du slår dem på Flugt, med din Bue sigter du mod deres Ansigt.

12 For You will make them turn their back;You will aim with Your bowstrings at their faces.

13 (21:14) HERRE, stå op i din Vælde, med Sang og med Spil vil vi prise dit Storværk! 

13 Be exalted, O Lord, in Your strength;We will sing and praise Your power.
