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.

Psalms 21
21
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD;
And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2Thou hast given him his heart's desire,
And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah
3For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness:
Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
4He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him;
Even length of days for ever and ever.
5His glory is great in thy salvation:
Honour and majesty dost thou lay upon him.
6For thou makest him most blessed for ever:
Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.
7For the king trusteth in the LORD,
And through the lovingkindness 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 furnace 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 device, which they are not able to perform.
12For thou shalt make them turn their back,
Thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them.
13Be thou exalted, O LORD, in thy strength:
So will we sing and praise thy power.
