Psalms 21:1-9 ▼

1 O Lord, in Thy strength the king will be glad, And in Thy salvation how greatly he will rejoice!

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

3 For Thou dost meet him with the blessings of good things; Thou dost set a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 He asked life of Thee, Thou didst give it to him, Length of days forever and ever.

5 His glory is great through Thy salvation, Splendor and majesty Thou dost place upon him.

6 For Thou dost make him most blessed forever; Thou dost make him joyful with gladness in Thy presence.

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

8 Your hand will find out all your enemies; Your right hand will find out 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.
