Psalms 21:6

Psalms 21:6

4 ^aHe asked life from You, and You gave it to him—
Length of days forever and ever.

5 His glory is great in Your salvation;
Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.

6 For You have made him¹ most blessed forever;
^aYou have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord,
And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be¹ moved.

8 Your hand will find all Your enemies;
Your right hand will find those who hate You.

9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger;
The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath,
And the fire shall devour them.
