21:1 For the worship leader. A song of David. The king is glad because You, O Eternal, are strong. In light of Your salvation, he is singing Your name.
21:2 You have given him all he could wish for. After hearing his prayer, You withheld nothing. [pause]
21:3 True blessings You lavished upon the king; a crown of precious gold You placed upon his head.
21:4 His prayer was to live fully. You responded with even more— a never-ending life to enjoy.
21:5 With Your help, his fame and glory have grown; You raise him high and cover him in majesty.
21:6 You shower him with blessings that last forever; he finds joy in knowing Your presence and loving You.
21:7 For the king puts his trust in the Eternal, so he will not be shaken because of the persistent love of the Most High God.
21:8 King, your hand will reach for all your enemies; your right hand will seize all who hate you.
21:9 When you arrive at the battle’s edge, you will seem to them a furnace. For the fire of the Eternal’s anger, the heat of His wrath will burn and consume them.
21:10 You will cut off their children, lop off the branches of their family tree. The earth will never know them, nor will they ever be numbered among Adam’s kin.
21:11 When they scheme against you, when they conspire their mischief, such efforts will be in vain.
21:12 At the sight of you, they will sound the retreat; your bows, drawn back, will aim directly at their faces.
21:13 Put Your strength, Eternal One, on display for all to see; we will sing and make music of Your mighty power.
