Psalms 21
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
The king rejoices in your strength, LORD!
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!
You have given him his heart’s desire,
You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
For you meet him with the blessings of goodness.
For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
He asked life of you and you gave it to him,
He asked You for life, and You granted it—length of days, forever and ever.
His glory is great in your salvation.
Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.
For you make him most blessed forever.
For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.
For the king trusts in the LORD.
For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.
Your hand will find out all of your enemies.
Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.
You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger.
You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.
You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.
For they intended evil against you.
Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.
For you will make them turn their back,
For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.
Be exalted, LORD, in your strength,
Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.
