Psalm 21:1-13
To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.
21 O Yahweh, in thy strength will the king rejoice, And in thy salvation how greatly will he exult!
2 The longing of his heart hast thou given him, And the request of his lips hast thou not withheld. [Selah.
3 For thou wilt come to meet him with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head a crown of pure gold.
4 Life he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, Length of days to times age-abiding and beyond.
5 Great is his glory in thy salvation, Honour and majesty wilt thou lay upon him;
6 For thou wilt appoint him blessings evermore, Wilt cheer him with joy by thy countenance;
7 For the king is trusting in Yahweh, And in the lovingkindness of the Highest shall he not be shaken.
8 Thy hand will find out all thy foes, Thine own right hand will find out them who hate thee.
9 Thou wilt make them like a furnace of fire at the time of thy presence,—Yahweh in his anger will swallow them up, And there shall consume them a fire:
10 Their fruit—out of the earth wilt thou destroy, And their seed from among the sons of men;
11 For they have held out against thee a wicked thing, They have devised a scheme they cannot accomplish.
12 For thou wilt cause them to turn their back, Upon thy bow-strings wilt thou make ready against their face.
13 Be exalted, O Yahweh, in thy strength! With song and with string will we sound forth thy power.
