Unfortunately, many people think that patience is most predominately demonstrated by someone who has an easy going, laid-back attitude. But, on the contrary, patience is not some passive nuance of someone’s character; it is an active, exhibited virtue. It is a virtue of trust. To exercise trust implies that we are trusting in someone greater than ourselves. It is no wonder the world is so impatient. Those who do not know God can only trust in themselves, for there is no one greater in whom they can place their trust. Their confidence is self-confidence, their esteem is self-esteem, and their reliance is self-reliance… If we trust in ourselves, then we are a hopeless people. But we are the people of God who place our trust in the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things. Indeed, we do not know patience apart from Him; we are patient precisely because He is patient toward us, enduring with us to the very end. Therefore, we live coram Deo, for in Him we live, move, and have our being, and in Him our patience is perfected.

21:1 Een psalm van David, voor den opperzangmeester. (21:2) O HEERE! de koning is verblijd over Uw sterkte; en hoezeer is hij verheugd over Uw heil!

21:2 (21:3) Gij hebt hem zijns harten wens gegeven, en de uitspraak zijner lippen hebt Gij niet geweerd. Sela.

21:3 (21:4) Want Gij komt hem voor met zegeningen van het goede; op zijn hoofd zet Gij een kroon van fijn goud.

21:4 (21:5) Het leven heeft hij van U begeerd. Gij hebt het hem gegeven; lengte van dagen, eeuwiglijk en altoos.

21:5 (21:6) Groot is zijn eer door Uw heil; majesteit en heerlijkheid hebt Gij hem toegevoegd.

21:6 (21:7) Want Gij zet hem tot zegeningen in eeuwigheid; Gij vervrolijkt hem door vreugde met Uw aangezicht.

21:7 (21:8) Want de koning vertrouwt op den HEERE, en door de goedertierenheid des Allerhoogsten zal hij niet wankelen.

21:8 (21:9) Uw hand zal alle vijanden vinden; uw rechterhand zal uw haters vinden.

21:9 (21:10) Gij zult hen zetten als een vurige oven ter tijd uws toornigen aangezichts; de HEERE zal hen in Zijn toorn verslinden, en het vuur zal hen verteren.

21:10 (21:11) Gij zult hun vrucht van de aarde verdoen, en hun zaad van de kinderen der mensen.

21:11 (21:12) Want zij hebben kwaad tegen U aangelegd; zij hebben een schandelijke daad bedacht, doch zullen niets vermogen.

21:12 (21:13) Want Gij zult hen zetten tot een wit; met Uw pezen zult Gij het op hun aangezicht toeleggen.

21:13 (21:14) Verhoog U, HEERE! in Uw sterkte; zo zullen wij zingen, en Uw macht met psalmen loven.
