Psalms 21:1-9 ▼

1 For the music director. A Psalm of David. LORD, in Your strength the king will be glad, And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice!

2 You have given him his heart’s desire, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

3 For You meet him with the blessings of good things; You set a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

5 His glory is great through Your salvation, Splendor and majesty You place upon him.

6 For You make him most blessed forever; You make him joyful with the joy of Your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD, And through the faithfulness of the Most High he will not be shaken.

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

9 You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger; The LORD will swallow them up in His wrath, And fire will devour them.
