Mazmur 21

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

The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

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

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

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

For you prevent him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

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

His glory is great in your salvation: honour and majesty have you laid upon him.

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

For you have made him most blessed for ever: you have made him exceeding glad with your countenance.

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

For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

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

your hand shall find out all of your enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you.

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

You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

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

Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

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

For they intended evil against you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

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

Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows upon your strings against the face of them.

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

Be you exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise your power.
