21:1  THE KING [David] shall joy in Your strength, O Lord; and in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

21:2  You have given him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah [pause, and think of that]!

21:3  For You send blessings of good things to meet him; You set a crown of pure gold on his head.

21:4  He asked life of You, {and} You gave it to him--long life forever and evermore.

21:5  His glory is great because of Your aid; splendor and majesty You bestow upon him.

21:6  For You make him to be blessed {and} a blessing forever; You make him exceedingly glad with the joy of Your presence.

21:7  For the king trusts, relies on, {and} is confident in the Lord, and through the mercy {and} steadfast love of the Most High he will never be moved.

21:8  Your hand shall find all Your enemies; Your right hand shall find all those who hate You.

21:9  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 utterly consume them.

21:10  Their offspring You will destroy from the earth, and their sons from among the children of men.

21:11  For they planned evil against You; they conceived a mischievous plot which they are not able to perform.

21:12  For You will make them turn their backs; You will aim Your bow [of divine justice] at their faces.

21:13  Be exalted, Lord, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.
