| 21:1 |
O LORD, the king rejoices in your strength. How great is his joy in the victories you give! |
| 21:2 |
You have granted him the desire of his heart and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah |
| 21:3 |
You welcomed him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head. |
| 21:4 |
He asked you for life, and you gave it to him--length of days, for ever and ever. |
| 21:5 |
Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty. |
| 21:6 |
Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. |
| 21:7 |
For the king trusts in the LORD; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken. |
| 21:8 |
Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes. |
| 21:9 |
At the time of your appearing you will make them like a fiery furnace. In his wrath the LORD will swallow them up, and his fire will consume them. |
| 21:10 |
You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from mankind. |
| 21:11 |
Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed; |
| 21:12 |
for you will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with drawn bow. |
| 21:13 |
Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength; we will sing and praise your might. |
