21:0 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
21:1 In thy strength the king rejoices, O LORD; and in thy help how greatly he exults!
21:2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. [Selah]
21:3 For thou dost meet him with goodly blessings; thou dost set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
21:4 He asked life of thee; thou gavest it to him, length of days for ever and ever.
21:5 His glory is great through thy help; splendor and majesty thou dost bestow upon him.
21:6 Yea, thou dost make him most blessed for ever; thou dost make him glad with the joy of thy presence.
21:7 For the king trusts in the LORD; and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
21:8 Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you.
21:9 You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath; and fire will consume them.
21:10 You will destroy their offspring from the earth, and their children from among the sons of men.
21:11 If they plan evil against you, if they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
21:12 For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows.
21:13 Be exalted, O LORD, in thy strength! We will sing and praise thy power.
