Psa21

Psalms – Chapter 21

¹ For the leader. A psalm of David.

I

²LORD, the king finds joy in your power;

in your victory how greatly he rejoices!

³You have granted him his heart’s desire;

you did not refuse the request of his lips.

Selah

⁴For you welcomed him with goodly blessings;

you placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

⁵He asked life of you;

you gave it to him,

length of days forever.

⁶Great is his glory in your victory;

majesty and splendor you confer upon him.

⁷You make him the pattern of blessings forever,

you gladden him with the joy of your face.

⁸For the king trusts in the LORD,

stands firm through the mercy of the Most High.

II

⁹Your hand will find all your enemies;

your right hand will find your foes!

¹⁰At the time of your coming

you will make them a fiery furnace.

Then the LORD in his anger will consume them,

devour them with fire.

¹¹Even their descendants you will wipe out from the earth,

their offspring from the human race.

¹²Though they intend evil against you,

devising plots, they will not succeed,

¹³For you will put them to flight;

you will aim at their faces with your bow.

III

¹⁴Arise, LORD, in your power!

We will sing and chant the praise of your might.
