Psalms - Chapter 21 | New International Version

  • 1. {For the director of music. A psalm of David.} O LORD, the king rejoices in your strength. How great is his joy in the victories you give!
  • 2. You have granted him the desire of his heart and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
  • 3. You welcomed him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
  • 4. He asked you for life, and you gave it to him-- length of days, for ever and ever.
  • 5. Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
  • 6. Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
  • 7. For the king trusts in the LORD; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken.
  • 8. Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes.
  • 9. At the time of your appearing you will make them like a fiery furnace. In his wrath the LORD will swallow them up, and his fire will consume them.
  • 10. You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from mankind.
  • 11. Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed;
  • 12. for you will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with drawn bow.
  • 13. Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength; we will sing and praise your might.
