Psalm 21
To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David.
1¶ The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy saving health how greatly shall he rejoice!
2Thou hast given him his heart’s desire and hast not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3For thou givest him beforehand the blessings of goodness; thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4He asked life of thee, and thou didst give him length of days for ever and ever.
5His glory is great in thy saving health; honour and beauty hast thou laid upon him.
6For thou hast made him most blessed for ever; thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7¶ For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger; the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth and their seed from among the children of men.
11For they intended evil against thee; they imagined a wicked device, but they did not prevail.
12Therefore shalt thou separate them; thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy valour.

Psalm 21
21
The King Rejoices in the Lord’s Strength
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1O Lord, in your #Ps. 8:2; 28:7, 8 strength the king rejoices,
and in your #Ps. 9:14salvation how greatly he exults!
2You have #Ps. 20:4, 5given him his heart’s desire
and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
3For you #Ps. 59:10 meet him with rich blessings;
you set #[2 Sam. 12:30; 1 Chr. 20:2] a crown of #Ps. 19:10fine gold upon his head.
4He asked life of you; you #Ps. 61:6; [2 Sam. 7:19] gave it to him,
#
Ps. 91:16; [1 Kgs. 1:31; Neh. 2:3] length of days forever and ever.
5His #Ps. 8:5 glory is great through your salvation;
#
Ps. 45:3; 96:6 splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
6For you make him most blessed forever;#21:6 Or make him a source of blessing forever
you make him glad with the #Ps. 45:7; See Ps. 16:11joy of your presence.
7For the king trusts in the Lord,
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be #Ps. 10:6; 16:8moved.
8Your hand will #[Isa. 10:10]find out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9You will make them as #Mal. 4:1; [Ps. 83:14] a blazing oven
when you appear.
The Lord will swallow them up in his #Ps. 2:5 wrath,
and #Ps. 18:8; 50:3; 97:3; Isa. 26:11; [Job 20:26; Dan. 7:10; Hab. 3:5]fire will consume them.
10You #Ps. 34:16; 1 Kgs. 13:34 will destroy their #Ps. 37:28; 109:13; Job 18:16, 17, 19; Isa. 14:20descendants from the earth,
and their offspring from among the children of man.
11Though they plan evil against you,
though they #Ps. 2:1; 10:2devise mischief, they will not succeed.
12For you will put them #Ps. 18:40 to flight;
you will #Ps. 7:12; 11:2aim at their faces with your bows.
13Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength!
We will sing and praise your power.
