Psalms 21:1-9 ▼

1 For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. LORD, the king finds joy in Your strength. How greatly he rejoices in Your victory!

2 You have given him his heart’s desire and have not denied the request of his lips. Selah

3 For You meet him with rich blessings; You place a crown of pure gold on his head.

4 He asked You for life, and You gave it to him— length of days forever and ever.

5 His glory is great through Your victory; You confer majesty and splendor on him.

6 You give him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.

7 For the king relies on the LORD; through the faithful love of the Most High he is not shaken.

8 Your hand will capture all your enemies; your right hand will seize those who hate you.

9 You will make them burn like a fiery furnace when you appear; the LORD will engulf them in His wrath, and fire will devour them.
