21:1 O LORD, in Your strength the king will be glad, And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice! |
21:2 You have given him his heart's desire, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. |
21:3 For You meet him with the blessings of good things; You set a crown of fine gold on his head. |
21:4 He asked life of You, You gave it to him, Length of days forever and ever. |
21:5 His glory is great through Your salvation, Splendor and majesty You place upon him. |
21:6 For You make him most blessed forever; You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence. |
21:7 For the king trusts in the LORD, And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken. |
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 fiery oven in the time of your anger; The LORD will swallow them up in His wrath, And fire will devour them. |
21:10 Their offspring You will destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men. |
21:11 Though they intended evil against You {And} devised a plot, They will not succeed. |
21:12 For You will make them turn their back; You will aim with Your bowstrings at their faces. |
21:13 Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; We will sing and praise Your power. |
