1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O LORD, in Thy strength the king rejoiceth; And in Thy salvation how greatly doth he exult! 2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withholden. Selah 3 For Thou meetest him with choicest blessings; Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head. 4 He asked life of Thee, Thou gavest it him; Even length of days for ever and ever. 5 His glory is great through Thy salvation; Honour and majesty dost Thou lay upon him. 6 For Thou makest him most blessed for ever; Thou makest him glad with joy in Thy presence. 7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, Yea, in the mercy of the Most High; he shall not be moved. 8 Thy hand shall be equal to all thine enemies; Thy right hand shall overtake those that hate thee. 9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger; The LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, And the fire shall devour them. Psalms 21:1-9, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
