Psalms 21:3-13 ▼

3 for You put before him the blessings of goodness; You set upon his head a crown of pure gold.

4 Life he has asked from You, and You gave it to him—length of days, forever and ever.

5 Great is his glory in Your salvation; splendor and majesty You have placed upon him.

6 For You set for him blessings forever; You make him rejoice with gladness before Your face.

7 For the king trusts in YHWH, and in the loving devotion of the Most High he shall not be shaken.

8 Your hand will find all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those hating You.

9 You will place them as in a furnace of fire at the time of Your presence; YHWH in His anger will swallow them up, and the fire will devour them.

10 Their fruit You will destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.

11 For they stretched out against you for evil. They devised a plot; they will not prevail.

12 For You set them to the shoulder; You prepare Your bowstrings against their faces.

13 Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your might.
