Psalm 21
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
[21:1] The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation! [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 the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head. [21:4] He asked life of you, you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever. [21:5] His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him. [21:6] For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence. [21:7] For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved. [21:8] Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you. [21:9] You 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. [21:10] You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men. [21:11] For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed. [21:12] For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face. [21:13] Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
