Psalm 21

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

 21:1The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh!
      How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

 21:2You have given him his heart's desire,
      And have not withheld the request of his lips.

 Selah.

 21:3For you meet him with the blessings of goodness;
      You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

 21:4He asked life of you, you gave it to him,
      Even length of days forever and ever.

 21:5His glory is great in your salvation.
      You lay honor and majesty on him.

 21:6For you make him most blessed forever.
      You make him glad with joy in your presence.

 21:7For the king trusts in Yahweh.
      Through the lovingkindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

 21:8Your hand will find out all of your enemies.
      Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

 21:9You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger.
      Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath.
      The fire shall devour them.

 21:10You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
      Their posterity from among the children of men.

 21:11For they intended evil against you.
      They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

 21:12For you will make them turn their back,
      When you aim drawn bows at their face.

 21:13Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength,
      So we will sing and praise your power.
