Psalms 21:1-9 ▼

1 The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How greatly he rejoices in your deliverance.

2 You have granted him the desire of his heart, and have not withheld what his lips requested. Interlude

3 You go before him with wonderful blessings, and put a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 He asked life from you, and you gave it to him— a long life for ever and ever.

5 His glory is great because of your deliverance, you have given him honor and majesty.

6 Indeed, you have given him eternal blessings; you will make him glad with the joy of your presence.

7 The king trusts in the LORD; because of the gracious love of the Most High, he will stand firm.

8 Your hand will find all your enemies, your right hand will find those who hate you.

9 When you appear, you will set them ablaze like a fire furnace. In his wrath, the LORD will consume them, and the fire will devour them.
