Psalm 21
This is a psalm that David wrote for the music leader.
A song to praise God for his faithful love #21:1 In this psalm, the king and his army thank God because he has helped them to win against their enemies.
1 Lord, the king is happy,
because you help him with your great strength.
You have helped him to win against his enemies,
so he is very happy. #21:1 David is probably talking about himself as the king.
2You have given to him all the things
that he really wanted.
When he asked for them,
you have not refused to give them to him.
3You came to him,
and you blessed him with many good things:
You put a crown on his head.
It was made from the best gold.
4He asked you to keep his life safe,
and you gave him a long life.
His descendants will continue for ever.
5People praise him,
because you have helped him to win against his enemies.
You have caused him to rule as a great king.
6You will continue to bless him for ever.
Because you are very near to him,
he is very happy.
7The king trusts in the Lord.
Because of the Most High God's faithful love,
the king will never fail.
8You will use your great power
to take hold of your enemies. #21:8 ‘you’ in verses 8 to 12 probably means the king.
You will catch everybody that hates you.
9When you come out to fight against them,
you will destroy them like a hot fire.
The Lord destroys them,
because he is angry with them.
10You will remove your enemies' children from the earth.
They will no longer have any descendants.
11They decided to hurt you.
They thought how they would do that.
But they could not do anything bad against you.
12No! You shoot your arrows at them,
so that they turn round and they run away!
13Get up, Lord, and show your strength!
We will sing to praise you
because you have great power.
