The King Trusts in Yahweh
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
1O Yahweh, in Your strength the king will be glad,
And in Your #21:1 Or victorysalvation how greatly he will rejoice!
2You have given him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. #21:2 Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical InterludeSelah.
3For You meet him with the blessings of good things;
You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4He asked life of You,
You gave it to him,
Length of days forever and ever.
5His glory is great through Your #21:5 Or victorysalvation,
Splendor and majesty You bestow upon him.
6For You make him #21:6 Lit blessingsmost blessed forever;
You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence.
7¶For the king trusts in Yahweh,
And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken.
8Your hand will find out all your enemies;
Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your #21:9 Or presenceanger;
Yahweh will swallow them up in His wrath,
And fire will devour them.
10Their #21:10 Lit fruitoffspring You will destroy from the earth,
And their seed from among the sons of men.
11Though they #21:11 Lit stretched outintended evil against You
And devised a scheme,
They will not succeed.
12For You will make them turn their back;
You will #21:12 Lit make readyaim with Your bowstrings at their faces.
13Be exalted, O Yahweh, in Your strength;
We will sing and praise Your might.
