Psalms 21:1-9 ▼

1 For the choir director. A psalm of David. LORD, the king finds joy in your strength. How greatly he rejoices in your victory!

2 You have given him his heart’s desire and have not denied the request of his lips. Selah

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.
