Psalms 21:1-9 ▼

1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. O LORD the king will delight in Your strength, And in Your salvation how greatly will he rejoice!

2 You have given him his heart’s desire, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

3 For You meet him with blessings of good things; You set a crown of pure gold on his head.

4 He asked life of You, And You gave it to him, Long life forever and evermore.

5 His glory is great because of Your victory; Splendor and majesty You bestow upon him.

6 For You make him most blessed [and a blessing] forever; You make him joyful with the joy of Your presence.

7 For the king [confidently] trusts in the LORD, And through the lovingkindness (faithfulness, goodness) of the Most High he will never be shaken.

8 Your hand will reach out and defeat all your enemies; Your right hand will reach those who hate you.

9 You will make them as [if in] a blazing oven in the time of your anger; The LORD will swallow them up in His wrath, And the fire will devour them.
