Psalms 21

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, raja bergembira karena Engkau telah menguatkan dia; ia bersukacita karena kemenangan yang Kauberi kepadanya!

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

Engkau telah memenuhi keinginan hatinya, dan memberi apa yang dimintanya.

3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

Engkau datang kepadanya dengan berkat berlimpah, dan memasang mahkota emas di atas kepalanya.

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

Ia mohon hidup, dan Kauberikan kepadanya, bahkan umur panjang untuk selama-lamanya.

5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

Karena pertolongan-Mu ia menjadi sangat terhormat, Kaujadikan dia masyhur dan bersemarak.

6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

Kauberkati dia untuk seterusnya; kehadiran-Mu membuat ia penuh sukacita.

7 For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

Raja berharap kepada TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, ia selalu aman sebab tetap dikasihi TUHAN.

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

Ia akan menawan semua musuhnya, dan menangkap semua orang yang membenci Dia.

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.

Ia datang seperti api yang menyala-nyala untuk membinasakan mereka. Mereka akan dimusnahkan oleh kemarahan TUHAN, dan oleh api yang menghanguskan.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.

Dari keturunan mereka tak ada yang tersisa, raja akan menumpas mereka semua.

11 For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

Apabila mereka membuat rencana menentang raja, tipu muslihat mereka tak akan berhasil.

12 For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

Ia akan membidikkan panah-Nya, sehingga mereka berbalik dan lari.

13 Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.

Kami memuji Engkau TUHAN, sebab besarlah kuasa-Mu, kami menyanyi memuji keperkasaan-Mu.
