Psalms 21:3-13 ▼

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.

10 You will wipe their descendants from the earth and their offspring from the human race .

11 Though they intend to harm you and devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail.

12 Instead, you will put them to flight when you aim your bow at their faces.

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