21:1 To the leader. A Psalm of David. In your strength the king rejoices, O Lord, and in your help how greatly he exults!
21:2 You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips.Selah
21:3 For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold on his head.
21:4 He asked you for life; you gave it to him— length of days for ever and ever.
21:5 His glory is great through your help; splendour and majesty you bestow on him.
21:6 You bestow on him blessings for ever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
21:7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
21:8 Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you.
21:9 You will make them like a fiery furnace when you appear. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath, and fire will consume them.
21:10 You will destroy their offspring from the earth, and their children from among humankind.
21:11 If they plan evil against you, if they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
21:12 For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows.
21:13 Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power.
