21:1   (A psalm by David for the music leader.) Our LORD, your mighty power makes the king glad, and he celebrates victories that you have given him.

21:2   You did what he wanted most and never told him "No."

21:3   You truly blessed the king, and you placed on him a crown of finest gold.

21:4   He asked to live a long time, and you promised him life that never ends.

21:5   The king is highly honored. You have let him win victories that have made him famous.

21:6   You have given him blessings that will last forever, and you have made him glad by being so near to him.

21:7   LORD Most High, the king trusts you, and your kindness keeps him from defeat.

21:8   With your mighty arm, LORD, you will strike down all of your hateful enemies.

21:9   They will be destroyed by fire once you are here, and because of your anger, flames will swallow them.

21:10   You will wipe their families from the earth, and they will disappear.

21:11   All their plans to harm you will come to nothing.

21:12   You will make them run away by shooting your arrows at their faces.

21:13   Show your strength, LORD, so that we may sing and praise your power.
