¹The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

¹(Til sangmesteren. En salme af David.) HERRE, Kongen er glad ved din Vælde, hvor frydes han højlig over din Frelse!

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

²Hvad hans Hjerte ønskede, gav du ham, du afslog ikke hans Læbers Bøn. - Sela.

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

³Du kom ham i Møde med rig Velsignelse, satte en Krone af Guld på hans Hoved.

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

⁴Han bad dig om Liv, og du gav ham det, en Række af Dage uden Ende.

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

⁵Stor er hans Glans ved din Frelse, Højhed og Hæder lægger du på ham.

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

⁶Ja, evig Velsignelse gav du ham, med Fryd for dit Åsyn glæded du ham.

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

⁷Thi Kongen stoler på HERREN, ved den Højestes Nåde rokkes han ikke.

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

⁸Til alle dine Fjender når din Hånd, din højre når dine Avindsmænd.

⁹You 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.

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

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

¹⁰Du rydder bort deres Frugt af Jorden, deres Sæd blandt Menneskens Børn.

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

¹¹Thi de søger at volde dig ondt, spinder Rænker, men evner intet;

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

¹²thi du slår dem på Flugt, med din Bue sigter du mod deres Ansigt.

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

¹³HERRE, stå op i din Vælde, med Sang og med Spil vil vi prise dit Storværk!
