Psalm 21

¹ O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices,
and in your salvation how greatly he exults!

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

³ For you meet him with rich blessings;
you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.

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

⁵ His glory is great through your salvation;
splendor and majesty you bestow on him.

⁶ For you make him most blessed forever;
you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

⁷ For the king trusts in the LORD,
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.

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

⁹ You will make them as a blazing oven
when you appear.
The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath,
and fire will consume them.

¹⁰ You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
and their offspring from among the children of man.

¹¹ Though they plan evil against you,
though they devise schemes, they will not succeed.

¹² For you will put them to flight;
you will aim at their faces with your bows.

¹³ Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength!
We will sing and praise your power.
