21:1 [To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.] O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he exults! 21:2 You have given him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah 21:3 For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head. 21:4 He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever and ever. 21:5 His glory is great through your salvation; splendor and majesty you bestow on him. 21:6 For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence. 21:7 For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved. 21:8 Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you. 21:9 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. 21:10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of man. 21:11 Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed. 21:12 For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows. 21:13 Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power.
