Psalm 21
For the choir director; a psalm by David.
1The king finds joy in your strength, O Lord.
What great joy he has in your victory!
2You gave him his heart’s desire.
You did not refuse the prayer from his lips. Selah
3You welcomed him with the blessings of good things
and set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4He asked you for life.
You gave him a long life, forever and ever.
5Because of your victory his glory is great.
You place splendor and majesty on him.
6Yes, you made him a blessing forever.
You made him glad with the joy of your presence.
7Indeed, the king trusts the Lord,
and through the mercy of the Most High, he will not be moved.
8Your hand will discover all your enemies.
Your powerful hand will find all who hate you.
9When you appear, you will make them ⌞burn⌟ like a blazing furnace.
The Lord will swallow them up in his anger.
Fire will devour them.
10You will destroy their children from the earth
and their offspring from among Adam’s descendants.
11Although they scheme and plan evil against you,
they will not succeed.
12They turn their backs ⌞and flee⌟
because you aim your bow at their faces.
13Arise, O Lord, in your strength.
We will sing and make music to praise your power.

Thanksgiving and Assurances for the King
1For the leader. A psalm of David.
I
2Lord, the king finds joy in your power;#Ps 63:12.
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.#1 Kgs 3:14.
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.

14Arise, Lord, in your power!#Nm 10:35.
We will sing and chant the praise of your might.
