Psalms 21:3-13 ▼

3 <V 20:4>For you have gone ahead of him with blessings of sweetness. You have placed a crown of precious stones on his head.

4 <V 20:5>He petitioned you for life, and you have granted him length of days, in the present time, and forever and ever.

5 <V 20:6>Great is his glory in your salvation. Glory and great adornment, you will lay upon him.

6 <V 20:7>For you will give him as a blessing forever and ever. You will make him rejoice with gladness in your presence.

7 <V 20:8>Because the king hopes in the Lord, and in the mercy of the Most High, he will not be disturbed.

8 <V 20:9>May your hand be found by all your enemies. May your right hand discover all those who hate you.

9 <V 20:10>You will make them like an oven of fire, in the time of your presence. The Lord will stir them up with his wrath, and fire will devour them.

10 <V 20:11>You will destroy their fruit from the earth and their offspring from the sons of men.

11 <V 20:12>For they have turned evils upon you; they have devised plans, which they have not been able to accomplish.

12 <V 20:13>For you will make them turn their back; with your remnants, you will prepare their countenance.

13 <V 20:14>Be exalted, Lord, by your own power. We will play music and sing psalms to your virtues.
